This has proven especially useful for libraries. Books and magazines, as well as movies and videos, can be assigned a name with URN, regardless of where the media is presently located.
The process of “reverse engineering” allows you to understand the functionality and structure of software. By reverse engineering software down to the source code, it is not only possible to understand incorrect messages, but also to analyze competing programs. Reverse engineering can therefore be used in many ways. But how exactly is reverse engineering applied in software development?
BLOB is short for Binary Large Object. The data types in a BLOB are typically classified as being unstructured data. A typical example of an unstructured data type is multimedia files, which are usually stored in databases as a BLOB. Since databases cannot read the unstructured data in BLOBs, special data processing methods are required.
Databases normally save information in database blocks. The size of the data plays a key role here: Especially large data objects that exclusively comprise strings are saved as CLOBs (Character Large Objects) or TEXT and are usually stored with a reference. Read the following article to find out what’s behind the CLOB data type as well as the advantages and disadvantages it provides.

The World Wide Web is getting faster and faster. The WebAssembly standard (Wasm) is set to vastly improve the performance of web applications. In addition to JavaScript, web programmers can now use C, C++ or Rust. The code is then compiled into highly efficient bytecode. This also means that browser-based games can be made more complex for example.
