   If a BLOB column has around 10 MB of data in it and it is set to NULL, would   
   the storage needed to store the record be reduced by 10 MB?   
      
   Additionally would it leave room for another 10 MB of data on the file   
   system? or would the DBMS still "claim" this space for another purpose?   
      
   If this is not the case, is there an alternative preferred way of freeing up   
   disk space used by LOB data for other purposes?   
      
   Kind Regards
