Binary Large Objects or BLOBs refer to images that you can store within your R:BASE database. You can add, edit, or delete Binary Large Objects (BLOBs) within your database files. The recommended table data type to store images is VARBIT. The R:BASE BLOB Editor has also been enhanced to manage Multipage Images. This enhancement will allow users to manage multipage images, such as .DCX, .GIF, or .TIFF files, when saved as BLOB data in R:BASE.
The R:BASE BLOB Editor also works with your large ASCII data files (Large Objects or LOBs). These objects refer to text files that can be in any ASCII format, including RTF. The recommended table data type for large text files is VARCHAR.
The data for VARBIT and VARCHAR data types is stored in the fourth R:BASE database file.
