Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a relational DBMS augmented with BLOBs, external software is used to process the objects after retrieval. This is because BLOBs (Binary Large Objects) are typically image, audio, or video files that require specialized software for handling and processing. Storing them with other data would not be practical, and performance may be affected if large objects are retrieved frequently. Content indexes may be used to improve retrieval, but they are not the primary method of processing BLOBs. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
