I understand CLOB is used for storing Character Large Object.

Is BLOB (Binary Large Object) used for storing Images such as JPEG, TIFF etc? Can I store word documents, pdf, and powerpoints as a BLOB?
 
While that may be the case, many people choose to store files on a file system and a pointer to them in the database rather than storing the files in the DB itself.
