I mean, if I extract datas from a table with some program, it stores the
datas in a text-like file, and another binary file to store binary (blod)
datas. But what,if I have some pictures, and I want to insert them into a
database. How shall I make this binary file, and how can I find those IDs?

It looks like a Blob id - the unique identifier that the engine creates for
each blob when it stores it. It is created and used by the engine, not
computed or manipulated by programmers. It's a mix of data items that are
meaningful only to the engine's inventory system.

First, explain what you mean by "a Blob file".
