@Target({METHOD,FIELD})
@Retention(RUNTIME)
public @interface Lob
```
Specifies that the annotated persistent property or field should be persisted as a large object to a database-native large object (LOB) type.
Portable applications should use the Lob annotation when mapping to a database Lob type. The Lob annotation may be used in conjunction with the Basic annotation or with the ElementCollection annotation when the element collection value is of basic type. A Lob may be either a binary or character type.
The LOB type (BLOB or CLOB) is inferred from the type of the persistent field or property. For string and character-based types it defaults to CLOB; for all other types it defaults to BLOB.
