Description
Describe the new feature
When a db or table is exported where columns with blob type is there, it is exporting alphanumeric values to the target files which will be never used in most of the scenarios.
It is good to have an option to exclude this binary data while exporting.

Research direction
Start by locating the database and table export entry points for SQL and JSON files, then trace how BLOB columns are serialized. Determine where an export option could select empty or null output for BLOB data, and verify that the chosen behavior is applied consistently to both export formats.
