What is the difference between BLOB and CLOB?

What is the difference between BLOB and CLOB?

• BLOB – Binnary Large OBject. Data type that relational databases use to store very large data. In Java, it is represented by the JDBC java.sql.Blob;
• CLOB – Character Large OBject. Similar, but to store large strings, represented by the JDBC java.sql.Clob;

What is the difference Relational Databases and OO Databases?

What is the difference Relational Databases and Object-Oriented (OO) Databases?

A Relational Database:

• is more widespread, it has more support and tools
• separates the concern – database from program
• lets you define your own schema
• potentially has slower access to complex data (joins)

An Object Database:

• is more consistent with the OO application
• is easier to navigate
• potentially has faster access to data (pointers)
• higher performance

PS: my answer to this question is based on learning through online content, since I have not worked with Object databases yet.  If my opinion is naive, please feel free to complete with your experience here.
