/** 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 <type scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">XResultSet</type>,
    and <type scope="com::sun::star::sdbc">XPreparedStatement</type>, 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.</p>
