Pega and Unstructured Data:
Pega does Stores the Unstructured data in Application properties but due to oracle column limitation It can't store it as a column values but it store the information in blobs
due to the nature of unstructured data the database tables grows drastically so recommendation is to externalize file attachments to scalable data storage systems like S3
