Difference between byte[] and blob

[chankokchern]

Hi guys,

I want to understand what is the difference between byte[] and blob in DB2 9

and also want to double confirm that when i use a sql statement to insert a byte[] data into a db2 table column (is a blob data type), something like this blob@4345639 (I cannot remember). All I want to know is that how does the data look like in the blob column.

I saw DB2 v8 blob look difference from DB2 v9 as DB2 v8 look something likes this (1000100001);


Thanks
