LOB stands for Large Objects datatypes. In Teradata there are two column's LOB datatypes: BLOB and CLOB.
Query below lists all tables having LOB columns
Query
SELECT COL.DatabaseName,
COL.TableName,
COUNT(*) AS ColumnCount
FROM DBC.ColumnsV COL
JOIN DBC.TablesV TAB
ON COL.DatabaseName = TAB.DatabaseName
AND COL.TableName = TAB.TableName

AND TAB.TableKind = 'T'
AND COL.ColumnType IN ('CO', 'BO')
GROUP BY COL.DatabaseName,

COL.ColumnName
ORDER BY ColumnCount DESC;
Columns
- DatabaseName - name of the database
- TableName - name of the table
- ColumnCount - number of LOB columns in table
Rows
- One row represents one table
- Scope of rows: all tables containing columns with LOB data types in current database
- Ordered by number of LOB columns in table descending
