title: Oracle BLOB vs VARCHAR
body: <p>I need to store a (large) SQL query in a column of a table and I thought using a <code>BLOB</code> field. To be clear, I want to store the query, not its result.</p>
  
  <p>What's best to use: <code>BLOB</code> or a <code>VARCHAR</code>? Or something else maybe?</p>
