> I imagine the reason the column is a `BLOB` for me is that `sqlite-utils` determines the column type based on the first batch of items - https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/blob/09c3386f55f766b135b6a1c00295646c4ae29bec/sqlite_utils/db.py#L1927-L1928 - and I got unlucky and had something in my first batch that wasn't a unicode string.

Ah, that's good to know. I think explicitly creating the tables will be a great improvement. I'll add that.

Also, I noticed after I opened this PR that the `message.get_payload()` is being deprecated in favor of `message.get_content()` or something like that.  I'll see if that handles the decoding better, too.

Thanks for the feedback. I should have time tomorrow to put together some improvements.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",813880401,
