models.BinaryField

BinaryField is a field type in Django's ORM that is used to store binary data, such as images, videos, and other multimedia files. It stores data in a binary format, meaning that it is represented as a sequence of 0s and 1s. The BinaryField can be used to store files up to 4 GB in size.

In the database, the BinaryField maps to a BLOB (Binary Large Object) data type. When data is stored in a BinaryField, it is encoded in Base64 format before being stored in the database. This encoding is done to ensure that the binary data can be safely transmitted over the internet without any data loss.

To use the BinaryField in a Django model, you can define it like this:

from django.db import models

class MyModel(models.Model):
    binary_data = models.BinaryField()

This will create a BinaryField named `binary_data` in the `MyModel` table. You can then use this field to store binary data in your model instances.
