<dd>Large object (LOB) data types allow applications to store large data objects
|
||
|
|
as strings. On V5R1, and earlier servers, the ODBC driver could access LOB
|
||
|
|
fields that were 15 MB or less in size. On V5R2 and later servers the ODBC
|
||
|
|
driver can access 2 GB LOBs. </dd>
|
||
|
|
<dd class="ddexpand">When uploading large LOB data fields to the server, it is recommended
|
||
|
|
that you use the SQLParamData and SQLPutData APIs. The SQLPutData API sends
|
||
|
|
the LOB data to the server as it is received and reduces the amount of memory
|
||
|
|
needed on the client.</dd>
