Informix is a family of Relational database management system (RDBMS products by IBM. Today many people believe that blob was originally intended as an acronym for something.
The data type and definition was introduced to describe data not originally defined in traditional computer database systems but became possible when disk space became cheap.
This definition gained popularity with IBM's DB2. International Business Machines Corporation abbreviated IBM and nicknamed "Big Blue", is a multinational Computer Technology DB2 is one of IBM 's families of Relational database management system (RDBMS (or as IBM now calls it data server software products within IBM's broader Information
A blob can also be a term that describes very large things.
Tinyblob, blob, mediumblob, and longblob are data types [2]. A data type in Programming languages is an attribute of a datum which tells the computer (and the programmer something about the kind of datum it is
