 * NAME
 *   selectjsonblob.js
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *   Shows how to use a BLOB as a JSON column store.
 *
 *   Note: with Oracle Database 21c using the new JSON type is recommended
 *   instead, see selectjson.js
 *
 *   Requires Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 or later.
 *   See https://www.oracle.com/pls/topic/lookup?ctx=dblatest&id=ADJSN
