Hi @tapac, you can tell me the difference between Blob and Binary columns? And in the future you add like a column for ByteReadPacket using Blob?

The main difference is the representation in a database for the most databases (except Postgresql and Orable) binary column used

varbinary

limited by column length and blob uses

blob

- without limitations. What is

ByteReadPacket

?

Is from the Kotlinx.io https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-io/blob/master/core/commonMain/src/kotlinx/io/core/ByteReadPacket.kt -- I don't know you but blob is kinda annoying to use(annoying because I always parse to bytearray)

The current problem is that Exposed works over JDBC which has not very comfortable API to work with blobs, but I plan to separate JDBC implementation from Exposed main API and then (maybe) it will be possible to improve blobs.
