Small binary data in the database ... whats best?

991148Feb 14 2013 — edited Feb 14 2013

Hello,

Maybe this is a novice question but i hope you can advice me about how to proceed.

I am storing little binary data (til 20Kb) in VARCHAR2 field ... but i feel a bit dirty.

Is it a good practice? ... are there good reasons to choose other data types like BLOB, or RAW?

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,
