I have an ODBC driver for an advantage database. I've used the driver to extract data but what is a BLOB and how do i use it?

Thanks

A blob is just a lump of data. To use it you'll need some sort of info as to its structure.....

An example of a blob could be a picture or a word document.

a CLOB is a Character Large OBject which would be a large amount of text.
