/** is the representation (mapping) of an SQL <i>BLOB</i>.

    <p>
    A SQL
    <i>
    BLOB
    </i>
    is a built-in type that stores a
    Binary Large Object as a column value in a row of a database table.
    The driver implements
    <i>
    BLOB
    </i>
    using a
    SQL
    <code>locator(BLOB)</code>
    , which means that a
    <code>Blob</code>
    object contains a logical pointer to the SQL
    <i>
    BLOB
    </i>
    data rather than the data itself.
    <br/>
    A
    <code>Blob</code>
    object is valid for the duration of the transaction in which is was created.

    </p>
    <p>
    Methods in the interfaces
    com::sun::star::sdbc::XResultSet
    ,
    and
    com::sun::star::sdbc::XPreparedStatement
    , such as
    <code>getBlob</code>
    and
    <code>setBlob</code>
    allow a programmer to access the SQL
    <i>BLOB</i>.
    <br/>
    The
    <code>Blob</code>
    interface provides methods for getting the length of a SQL
    <i>
    BLOB
    </i>
    (Binary Large Object) value, for materializing a
    <i>
    BLOB
    </i>
    value on the client and for determining the position of a pattern of bytes within a
    <i>
    BLOB
    </i>
    value.
