BLOB value. An SQL BLOB is a built-in type
that stores a Binary Large Object as a column value in a row of
a database table. By default drivers implement Blob using
an SQL locator(BLOB), which means that a
Blob object contains a logical pointer to the
SQL BLOB data rather than the data itself.
A Blob object is valid for the duration of the
transaction in which is was created.
Methods in the interfaces ResultSet,
CallableStatement, and PreparedStatement, such as
getBlob and setBlob allow a programmer to
access an SQL BLOB value.
The Blob interface provides methods for getting the
length of an SQL BLOB (Binary Large Object) value,
for materializing a BLOB value on the client, and for
determining the position of a pattern of bytes within a
BLOB value. In addition, this interface has methods for updating
a BLOB value.
All methods on the Blob interface must be fully implemented if the
JDBC driver supports the data type.
