Handling BLOB Data With Connector/Net
One common use for MariaDB is the storage of binary data in BLOB columns. MariaDB supports four different BLOB data types: TINYBLOB, BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, and LONGBLOB, all described in , "The BLOB and TEXT Types" and , "Data Type Storage Requirements".
Data stored in a BLOB column can be accessed using Connector/Net and manipulated using client-side code. There are no special requirements for using Connector/Net with BLOB data.
Simple code examples will be presented within this section, and a full sample application can be found in the Samples directory of the Connector/Net installation.
