Blob?

Hello. This is probably a question that can be found in the manual, but our copy of Oracle is on order and I do not yet have the manuals. I need to store up to 256K of text data into a database field. MS SQL Server and Sybase have a 'text' and an 'image' datatype for storing large amounts of data into a field - is the 'blob' datatype similar to this in Oracle? What datatypes are there for large fields like this? Is there a place on the web where I can read more about Oracle datatypes?

Thanks
