What documentation are you referring to?

Also, NULL is not a character.  Do you mean NUL (byte with value of 00)?

I suspect the escaping that you're referring to is escaping to allow
certain characters to be represented in a programming language string.
That's different than escaping characters that are actually stored in
the database; for the latter, characters are stored as is with no escaping.
But since you don't specify what documentation you mean, it's difficult
to answer your question definitively

). Since a blob is not of any character set, how do I know how to prepare a blob for insert? ( which character set / character size to use to test for characters that need to be escaped?
