Large OBject (LOB) types

IBM® Informix® and Genero support the TEXT and BYTE types to store large objects: TEXT is used to store large text data, while BYTE is used to store large binary data like images or sound.

Netezza® (V6) does not support large objects in the database.

Solution

If your application need to store large objects with TEXT and BYTE data types, you cannot use a Netezza server.
