BLOB (Binary Large Object)

A BLOB (Binary Large Object) is a data type used in databases to store large amounts of binary data, such as images, audio, video, or other multimedia files. Unlike regular data types that handle small amounts of information, BLOBs can manage file sizes that are much larger, making them suitable for applications that require storing rich content. This allows developers to keep large files within a database, enabling efficient data management and retrieval, which is especially useful in web applications and digital media platforms.
