Fields
| Name | Description | Type | Null |

| description | A description that is entered by the user, and visible to the user | String(254) | ● |
| originalSize | Original size of the binary data, before encryption and/or zipping. This is what the ultimate client will get | UInt | |
| blobSize | The length, in bytes, of the binary data AS STORED after any encryption and/or zipping. Important to get right, since some databases will not tell us just based on the blob itself! | UInt | |

| isEncrypted | Has the data been encrypted (support for this will come in HDB) | Bool | |
| extraInfo | Extra information, spare field, can be used for anything that makes sense. Should not refer to any particular context, that is something for the BinaryObjectLInk | String(254) | ● |
| binaryData | The binary data itself. Length is limited by the database, generally 1GB seems to be reliably available. Beyond that is database dependent. | Blob | ● |
