A BLOB is a Binary Large OBject. It is used to store large quantities of binary data in a database.

You can use it to store any kind of binary data that you want, includes images, video, or any other kind of binary data that you wish to store.

Different DBMSes treat BLOBs in different ways; you should read the documentation of the databases you are interested in to see how (and if) they handle BLOBs.
