BLOB

A BLOB, or Binary Large Object, is a way to store sizable amounts of unstructured data, such as images, videos, or documents, within a database. Instead of breaking the data into smaller pieces, a BLOB keeps it in its original format, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval. Think of it as a digital container holding large files that are too complex for regular text or numbers. BLOBs are essential for managing multimedia content and other large data types in applications, providing a way to seamlessly integrate diverse digital assets into database systems.
