BLOB Datatype Length.

2616901Feb 20 2014 — edited Feb 20 2014

Hi Everyone. I have a question on Oracle Blob datatype.

I need to store Image data in my table there are 4 fields which store 4 different images for a record in a table.

The image size would not be more than max 500KB,

Is it advisable to specify the column data type as Just BLOB ( which defaults to size of 2GB)

Or specify the datalength?

Length is specified in number of octets, is this the same as Bytes? so can i go for BLOB(500K)?

Regards,

Glen.
