NPersistence Reference Guide
Specifies that a persistent property or field should be persisted as a large object to a database-supported large object type.

Portable applications should use the Lob annotation when mapping to a database Lob type. The Lob annotation may be used in conjunction with the Basic annotation or the ElementCollection annotation when the element collection value is of basic type. A Lob may be either a binary or character type.

The Lob type is inferred from the type of the persistent field or property, and except for string and character-based types defaults to Blob.

Examples
