How are maps stored in the database?

[burli]

I'm curious and I looked into a sqlite file with a DB Browser. There is just one table with a pos column and a blob. In the pos column there are coordinates as a hash value, I guess. But I'm a little bit surprised that I can find something like this in the blob

default:snowair default:stone default:dirt_with_snow default:dirt default:stone_with_coal

What is stored in these blobs? Is each blob one map block?

How about "HELP: minetest .sqlite format" ?
