<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Usage</h4><p> <samp class="codeph">SQLGetLength()</samp> can be used
to determine the length of the data value represented by an LOB locator. It
is used by applications to determine the overall length of the referenced
LOB value so that the appropriate strategy to obtain some or all of the LOB
value can be chosen.</p>
<p>The Locator argument can contain any valid LOB
locator which has not been explicitly freed using a FREE LOCATOR statement
nor implicitly freed because the transaction during which it is created has
terminated.</p>
<p>The statement handle must not have been associated with
any prepared statements or catalog function calls.</p>
