<p>
  <span class="application">Libgda</span> manages each individual value within an opaque <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-Generic-values.html#GValue"><span class="type">GValue</span></a> structure. Any GValue type can be used,
  and <span class="application">Libgda</span> adds a few more data types usually found in DBMS such as NUMERIC, TIME, TIMESTAMP, GEOMETRIC POINT, BINARY and BLOB.
</p>
<p>
  Libgda makes a distinction between binary and blob types
  </p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem"><p>binary data can be inserted into an SQL statement using a
	(DBMS dependent) syntax, such as "X'ABCD'" syntax for SQLite or the binary strings syntax for PostgreSQL. Binary data
	is manipulated using a <a class="link" href="libgda-4.0-Gda-Value.html#GdaBinary"><span class="type">GdaBinary</span></a> structure (which is basically a bytes buffer and a length attribute).
    </p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>blob data are a special feature that some DBMS have which requires some non SQL code to manipulate them.
	Usually only a reference is stored in each table containing a blob, and the actual blob data resides somewhere on the disk
	(while still being managed transparently by the database). For example PotsgreSQL stores blobs as files on the disk and
	references them using object identifiers (Oid). Blob data
	is manipulated using a <a class="link" href="libgda-4.0-Gda-Value.html#GdaBlob" title="GdaBlob"><span class="type">GdaBlob</span></a> structure which encapsulates a <a class="link" href="libgda-4.0-Gda-Value.html#GdaBinary"><span class="type">GdaBinary</span></a> structure and adds a reference to a
	<a class="link" href="GdaBlobOp.html" title="Blobs"><span class="type">GdaBlobOp</span></a> object used to read and write data from and to the blob.
    </p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
  Please note that is distinction between binary data and blobs is Libgda only and does not reflect the DBMS's documentations;
  for instance MySQL has several BLOB types but Libgda interprets them as binary types.
</p>
<p>
  Each provider or connection can be queried about its blob support using the <a class="link" href="GdaServerProvider.html#gda-server-provider-supports-feature" title="gda_server_provider_supports_feature ()"><code class="function">gda_server_provider_supports_feature()</code></a> or
  <a class="link" href="GdaConnection.html#gda-connection-supports-feature" title="gda_connection_supports_feature ()"><code class="function">gda_connection_supports_feature()</code></a> methods.
</p>
<p>
  The NULL value is a special case value: it is represented by to a zero-filled (uninitialized) <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/unstable/gobject-Generic-values.html#GValue"><span class="type">GValue</span></a> and has a type equal
  to GDA_TYPE_NULL.
