BLOBs and the 8K rows

Does anyone know if BLOBs are restricted by the 8KB row size rule? Or are
they more like images and text and not restricted to 8KB?
ThanksDepend how is setup the table's option "text in row" for this specific table
.
See "sp_tableoption" in BOL for more info.

BLOB is a synonym for Image and Text data types.

be as big as 2Gb. It is stored to multiple 8KB pages and managered by a
btree-like structure.
