The Oracle EMPTY_BLOB function is used to initialise a LOB column to an empty value.

You can use it in an INSERT statement, an UPDATE statement, or with a variable in PL/SQL.

The syntax of the EMPTY_BLOB function is:

EMPTY_BLOB

That’s it - no parameters.

Why would you set a BLOB value to empty?

It means you have initialised it but not given it a value. It’s good to know this function exists if you ever need to use it.
