@ -347,6 +347,22 @@ A 64 bit integer, much like an :class:`IntegerField` except that it is
guaranteed to fit numbers from -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807. The
default form widget for this field is a :class:`~django.forms.TextInput`.
``BinaryField``
-------------------
.. class:: BinaryField([**options])
.. versionadded:: 1.6
A field to store raw binary data. It only supports ``bytes`` assignment. Be
aware that this field has limited functionality. For example, it is not possible
to filter a queryset on a ``BinaryField`` value.
.. admonition:: Abusing ``BinaryField``
Although you might think about storing files in the database, consider that
it is bad design in 99% of the cases. This field is *not* a replacement for
proper :ref.`static files <static-files> handling.
``BooleanField``
