SQL_ADD_LOB_CHUNK¶

Applies to: ORAFlex SQLFlex MYSQLFlex PGFlex DB2Flex

This command is used to add additional chunks to the buffer before saving the record. After SQL_SET_LOB has been called SQL_ADD_LOB_CHUNK can be called as many times as needed to add additional chunks of data before a save. It can also be called independent of SQL_SET_LOB to append data to an existing LOB column. NOTE: Unlike the previous call LOB_APPEND, this call does not perform the save. This must be done separately.

Syntax

Parameter	Description
FileName	The name of the file containing the LOB field
