Hi Alex, list,

sorry for the delay.

I think you're on 9.0, aren't you? We're still on 8.1 - but the
following should be equivalent to your env:

- connected to mysql shell (and the right database), execute the following:
  "desc CMS_InfoObjects5;"
  (if on 8.1 replace table name by CMS_InfoObjects4)
- description of the table is shown, including the used data types
- "Properties" is of type "mediumblob" (at least in 8.1)

All types named "<whatever>blob" are considered to contain binary files

Hope this helps,
Marcel
