DataBlade API functions for LO-handle conversion
The DataBlade API provides functions for conversion between binary and text representations of an LO handle.
| DataBlade API function | Converts from | Converts to |
|---|---|---|
| mi_lo_to_string() | LO handle (MI_LO_HANDLE) | Text representation of LO handle |
| mi_lo_from_string() | Text representation of LO handle | LO handle (MI_LO_HANDLE) |
Server only: The mi_lo_to_string() and mi_lo_from_string() functions
are useful in the input and output support function of an opaque data
type that contains smart large objects. These functions enable you
to convert CLOB and BLOB values (LO handles) between their external
format (text) and their internal format (binary) when you transfer
them to and from client applications.
