BLOB vs LONG RAW (neophyte question)

Other than their maximum sizes, is there any difference between the BLOB
and LONG RAW data types?  I'm going to be storing a serialized java
objects and need to choose a data type.  The 2 GB limitation on LONG RAW
is not consideration for me, and I do not need LOBs' support for
external files.  Also, are either of these data types part of the ansi
standard?



Thanks,
