As Tim mentioned, the BLOB streaming engine stores the MIME type along with the BLOB data in the repository.

BLOBs are uploaded with HTTP PUT and downloaded with HTTP GET so considering the MIME type to be part of the BLOB is easy and extremely practical.

Hi!

What do people think about declaring a mime/type for blobs? What about storing a mime/type with each insert of blob?

We talk about collations (and character sets) for text types. What about blobs?

How about constraints? (and the cost of adding them)

Cheers,
