Answer 1

I have three answers to this question:

1. It is against user experience UX best practice to use BLOB and CLOB data types in string and retrieving binary data from an SQL database thus it is advised that you use the technique that involves storing the URL for the image( or any Binary file in the database). This URL will help the user application to retrieve and use this binary file.

2. Second the BLOB and CLOB data types are only available to a number of SQL versions thus functions such as LOAD_FILE or the datatypes themselves could miss in some versions.

3. Third DON'T USE BLOB OR CLOB. Store the URL; let the user application access the binary file from a folder in the project directory.
