Re: Blobs in Oracle ?

Thanks to correspondents who explained that they are "binary large objects". Have these ever been implemented in ways which allow them to be indexed? E.g. or i.e. with surrogates which have a one-to-one relationship to the blob contents? In Prolog parlance this would/might be "bigtexts with equality".
