Large objects (LOBs) store large unstructured data such as literals, images, videos, and spatial data. LOB types are categorized into binary large objects (BLOBs) and character large objects (CLOBs).
Applicability
This topic applies only to OceanBase Database Enterprise Edition. OceanBase Database Community Edition provides only the MySQL mode.
BLOB
You can store large binary objects such as images and videos in a database as BLOBs and consider them as large bit streams without character set syntax.
CLOB
You can store single-byte and multi-byte character data as CLOBs. Fixed-width and variable-width character sets are supported and they both use the database character set.
