Anyone know about BLOBs?

Got a set of Log data in an XML format that I link to Access.

Thing is, one are i want to view is in a BLOB!

How can I view the data in here!?

BLOB = Binary Large OBject, ie, a file (as opposed to rows of data) stored in a database. I didn't think Access could deal with LOB's though.

Do you know what can?

I think most 'proper' databases can, Oracle (no pun intended) certainly can.

MySQL can deal with LOBs, so I assume it'll deal with BLOBs too.
