Issue getting blob data with cordova-plugin-sqlite

[skelvin]

i have an sqlite table with three columns; key with datatype int, provider with datatype text and tile with datatype blob.
Whenever i use a select query to get data from the table ie "SELECT tile FROM tiles", my application crashes and the blob column is the issue. this is the a snippet of the error i get from logcat.

im developing using ionic, cordova with angular and my target platform is android
ionic-native/sqlite version 5.36.0
cordova-plugin-sqlite version 6.0.0
ionic version 7.1.1
cordova version 12.0.0

below is a snippet of the code that selects the data from the table

private async getAllRecords(): Promise<TilesInterface[]> {
  let details: TilesInterface[] = [];
  try {
    let details: TilesInterface[] = [];
    const res = await this.dbInstance.executeSql('SELECT key, provider, tile FROM tiles', []);

    for (let x = 0; x < res.rows.length; x++) {
      const row = res.rows.item(x);
      const tileData: ArrayBuffer = row.tile; // Access as ArrayBuffer
      details.push({ key: row.key, provider: row.provider, tile: tileData });
    }

    return details;

  } catch (e) {
    console.error('Error opening transaction:', e);
  }

return details;

}

iv tried using DB Browser for sqlite to check incase the database is corrupt but it works properly.
I should also probably mention that the sqlite db file is provided by service and not created and populated in the app itself. i use cordova-plugin-files to download it from my server and store it in the database directory of my android app.

this is an example of the sqlite file im working with
city.zip

please help me, thank you in advance
