problems with clob and blob

[james19]

are their any disadvantages with using clob and blob datatypes?????? what alternatives are their???

[chazzy]

it all depends on what you're trying to do with binary large objects and character large objects?

[james19]

what if I want to add an image??? what other things can i use them for????

[chazzy]

they're used for any binary/character objects. not just images. most people try to dissuade from storing images in the DB. there's usually other ways.
