Values You Must Use with a BLOB Descriptor
The following table describes the values that you must use with blobDescriptor object properties. To indicate the number of bytes that are required to store the property, you use one of these values. If the BLOB descriptor describes an object property that is a string, then you must set the corresponding property to a numeric value that is larger than the length of the longest string that the property can hold. You can write code that omits an object method from a BLOB descriptor.
