Binary type

  • BLOB

    • Alias: BYTEA

Description

The BLOB data type is designed to store arbitrary binary objects. It can contain any binary data without any restrictions. What this data actually represents remains unknown to Tengri.

BLOB is typically used to store non-text objects whose type is not explicitly supported, such as images. Although the BLOB type can store objects up to 4 GB in size, it is not recommended to store very large objects in Tengri. It is usually more convenient to store large files on the file system, and store file paths in Tengri as the type VARCHAR.
