Faster access to hot buffer pool pages Support for aggregateand user-defined functions New SQL functionsand VARBINARYdata type
There are two types of varying-length binary string:

1. A VARBINARY can be up to 32 672 bytes long.

2. A BLOB (binary large object) can be up to 2 gigabytes minus 1 byte (2 147 483 647 bytes) long.
