|
<p>Referring to this UDF code, observe that: </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>There are includes for <em>sql.h</em>, where the type
|
|
<tt>SQL_TYP_CLOB</tt> used in the <tt>sqludf_create_locator()</tt> call is
|
|
defined, and <tt>sqludf.h</tt>, where the type <tt>udf_locator</tt>
|
|
is defined.</li>
|
|
<li>The first input argument, and the third input argument (which represents
|
|
the function output) are defined as pointers to <tt>sqludf_locator</tt>,
|
|
that is, they represent CREATE FUNCTION specifications of AS LOCATOR.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>The UDF does not test whether either input argument is null, as NOT NULL
|
|
CALL is specified in the CREATE FUNCTION statement.</li>
|
|
<li>In the event of error, the UDF exits with <tt>sqlstate</tt> set to
|
|
38<i>xxx</i>. This is sufficient to stop the execution of the
|
|
statement referencing the UDF. The actual 38<i>xxx</i> SQLSTATE
|
|
values you choose are not important to DB2, but can serve to differentiate the
|
|
exception conditions which your UDF may encounter.</li>
|
|
<li>By using the <tt>input_rec</tt> variable as the length of the data
|
|
appended, the UDF takes care of any partial buffer condition.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Following is the CREATE FUNCTION statement for this UDF:</p>
|
|
<pre> CREATE FUNCTION carve(CLOB(50M) AS LOCATOR, VARCHAR(255) )
|
|
RETURNS CLOB(50M) AS LOCATOR
|
|
NOT NULL CALL
|
|
DETERMINISTIC
|
|
NO SQL
|
|
NO EXTERNAL ACTION
|
|
LANGUAGE C
|
|
PARAMETER STYLE DB2SQL
|
|
EXTERNAL NAME 'MYLIB/LOBUDFS(lob_subsetter)' ;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>Referring to this statement, observe that:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>NOT NULL CALL is specified, so the UDF will not be called if any of its
|
|
input SQL arguments are NULL, and does not have to check for this
|
|
condition.</li>
|
|
<li>The function is specified as DETERMINISTIC, meaning that with a given
|
|
input CLOB value and a given set of criteria, the result will be the same
|
|
every time.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Now you can successfully run the following statement:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
strcpy(hvchar,"return this text 1 "
|
|
"remove 1 "
|
|
"return this text 2 "
|
|
"remove 2 ");
|
|
exec sql set :hvloc = clob(:hvchar);
|
|
exec sql set :hvloc2 = carve(:hvloc,'return');
|
|
strcpy(hvchar,"");
|
|
exec sql set :hvchar = char(:hvloc2);
|
|
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>The UDF is used to subset the value represented by the host variable
|
|
:hvchar. The first and third 50 byte character segments are returned from the UDF. </p>
