Binary large object (BLOB) is a data type which has been adapted by most of the leading relational databases. BLOBs are used for objects such as images or other binary data types. The relational database is extended to access these BLOBs to present the user with a complete data set. Extended relational databases provide a gradual migration path to a more object-oriented environment.

Relational database tables include location information for the BLOBs which may be stored outside the database on separate image or Video servers.

Relational Database has the strength of rigorous set management for maintaining the integrity of the database.
