# lrd_ora8_lob_read

Reads characters from a large object descriptor.

    LRDRET lrd_ora8_lob_read( void * const mpvLRDDBIHandleSvcCtx, void * const mpvLRDDBIHandleLob, unsigned long const mjAmtToRead, unsigned long * const mpjAmtRead, unsigned long const mjOffset, unsigned long const mjBufl, unsigned short const mjCsid, unsigned char const mjCsfrm, int const miDBErrorSeverity );

mpvLRDDBIHandleSvcCtx | A pointer to an LRDDBI Service Context Handle with a valid Server Handle attribute.
mpvLRDDBIHandleLob | A pointer to an LRDDBI Lob Descriptor Handle.
mjAmtToRead | The number of bytes to read
mpjAmtRead | Pointer to number of bytes to read on output.
mjOffset | Offset for start of read.
mjBufl | The buffer length.
mjCsid | The character set ID.
mjCsfrm | The character set form.
miDBErrorSeverity | The Error Severity Levels of a failure in a database routine.

The lrd_ora8_lob_read function reads characters from a large object (LOB) descriptor after the descriptor has been fetched from the database. Note that the characters read by lrd_ora8_lob_read cannot be accessed.

This function may increase the load on the server substantially.

## Return Values

See LRD Return Values.

## Parameterization

You cannot use standard parameterization for any arguments in this function.

## Example

In the following example, an Oracle select statement is executed on a table which contains a column holding a large object. The handle to the large object, OraLob2, is allocated in lrd_ora8_handle_alloc. After a row is fetched by the call to lrd_ora_fetch, the large object contained in the row is fetched by lrd_ora8_lob_read.

    lrd_ora8_stmt(OraStm7, "select * from lobby\n", 1, 0, 0);

    lrd_ora8_exec(OraSvc1, OraStm7, 0, 0, &uliRowsProcessed, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

    lrd_ora8_handle_alloc(OraEnv1, LOB, &OraLob2, 0);

    lrd_ora8_bind_col(OraStm7, &OraDef3, 1, &COL1_D16, 0, 0);

    lrd_ora8_attr_set(OraDef3, CHARSET_FORM, "1", -1, 0);

    lrd_assign(&COL1_D16, OraLob2, 0, 0, 0);

    /* Fetch the row. This does not fetch the large object */

    lrd_ora8_fetch(OraStm7, 1, 1, &uliFetchedRows, PrintRow6, 2, 0, 0);

    /* Now fetch the large object in the row */

    lrd_ora8_lob_read(OraSvc1, OraLob2, 80, 0, 1, 81, 0, 1, 0);

    lrd_handle_free(&OraLob2, 0);

    lrd_handle_free(&OraStm7, 0);
