The man knows what he says. :)

Indeed, those who rely on getting back a simple string from SELECTquery in a 
DBAL-enabled environment may crash hard. In certain situations you get back 
an array, containing a string and some field/value pairs for BLOB/CLOB 
fields.

exec_SELECTquery takes care of doing the right things with that, but if you 
simply put that into $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->sql_query() it will fail (that is 
what you would do with it, right?).

Now *that* of course is a shortcoming in the sql_query() method in the DBAL 
extension. Would someone add that to the bugtracker, so I don't forget it? 
I'm too lazy, err, busy right now.
