I've been through the documentation on LOBs but am still stuck trying to figure out how to interrogate the contents of a BLOB.

We have a table with a BLOB column in it. All it contains in text data (i.e. memo notes). Why it was created as a BLOB and not a CLOB is unknown to me and done before I was hired. All I need to do is determine if a particular string ('.com') pattern exists in the column, within the first 75 bytes, and return its starting position.

Would someone help me out? Thanks!
