title: Difference between storing images in byte array and binary (BLOB) and which one is faster
body: <p>I want to insert and select images from sql server in jdbc. I am confused whether BLOB and byte are the same thing or different. I have used Blob in my code and the application loads slow as it has to select the images stored in Blob and convert it pixel by pixel. I want to use byte array but I don't know whether they are same or different. My main aim is to load the image faster.
  Thank you</p>
