SQL_GET_DATA_CHUNK_EX_UC¶

Applies to: SQLFlex

This command is used to get a chunk of data as a UChar[] from a column retrieved through an embedded SQL statement. By passing the column number and the offset number, the chunk will be put into the specified variable. To specify how big of a chunk to get, use the SQL_SET_CHUNK_SIZE command. Otherwise the maximum length will be retrieved. An optional variable can also be passed which will store the length of the chunk. Note that unlike LOB_READ, this command works for any column type, not just LOB columns.

Syntax

SQL_GET_DATA_CHUNK_UC COLUMN {column} OFFSET {offset} to {variable} {length}

SQL_SET_STMT to "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER WHERE STATUS = 'Active' "
SQL_PREPARE_STMT

SQL_FETCH_NEXT_ROW into sID sBio
If (Found) Begin
    SQL_GET_COLUMN_DATA_SIZE COLUMN 6 to iDataSize

    Repeat
        SQL_GET_DATA_CHUNK_EX_UC COLUMN 6 OFFSET iProgress to ucChunk
        ADD iChunkSize to iProgress
        // do something with ucChunk
    until (iProgress >= iDataSize)

End
