Hello,

I was looking at the SQL table creation example here:  
[https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/SE/Working+with+Platform+Services](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/SE/Working+with+Platform+Services)

I wanted to make a table with a BLOB field to store some pictures/PDFs in, but all of the fields look like they’re more tailored to the Ignition SQL tags. How would I go about creating a blob field in a module?

In 7.9.9 we added DataType.ByteArray
