Binary large object
A binary large object is a data object that stores a sizable, largely uninterpreted sequence of binary data as a single unit.
Microsoft Azure in Action
A blob is an object of arbitrary binary or textual data stored in Azure Blob Storage.
- How it is used
- Stores varied files and email attachments as blobs within Azure storage containers.
- How deep it goes
- Defines the storage hierarchy, distinguishes three blob types, and demonstrates uploads and workflow creation without explaining storage internals.
- Examples
- Uses a PDF uploaded through PowerShell and email attachments saved through a Logic App.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure it with PowerShell or Logic Apps to upload files or save email attachments in a container.

A binary large object is binary data stored as a single large database value, commonly for multimedia content.
- How it is used
- Maps large binary entity properties to database values, particularly image data.
- How deep it goes
- Compares three property mappings and their loading behavior; defers bytecode-instrumentation details.
- Examples
- Shows image properties mapped as byte[] or java.sql.Blob and a stream used to read Blob data.
- What you can do after
- Evaluate/understand whether byte[], @Lob, or java.sql.Blob fits a large binary property’s loading needs.
