See If a LOB Locator for a Temporary LOB Is Initialized

Figure 10-17 Use Case Diagram: See If a LOB Locator for a Temporary LOB Is Initialized

See: "Use Case Model: Internal Temporary LOBs", for all basic operations of Internal Temporary LOBs.

Purpose

This procedure describes how to see if a LOB locator for a temporary LOB is initialized.

Usage Notes

Not applicable.

Syntax

See Chapter 3, "LOB Programmatic Environments" for a list of available functions in each programmatic environment. Use the following syntax references for each programmatic environment:

• PL/SQL (DBMS_LOB): There is no applicable syntax reference for this use case.

• C (OCI): Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide Chapter 15, "Relational Functions" -- LOB Functions, OCILobLocatorIsInit

• COBOL: A syntax reference is not applicable in this release.

• C/C++ (Pro*C/C++): Pro*C/C++ Precompiler Programmer's Guide Appendix F, "Embedded SQL Statements and Directives" -- LOB CREATE TEMPORARY. See also C(OCI) function, OCILobLocatorIsInit

• Visual Basic (OO4O): There is no applicable syntax reference for this use case.

• Java (JDBC): There is no applicable syntax reference for this use case.

Scenario

This generic function takes a LOB locator and checks if it is initialized. If it is initialized, then it prints out a message saying "LOB is initialized". Otherwise, it reports "LOB is not initialized".

Examples

Examples are provided in the following programmatic environments:

• PL/SQL (DBMS_LOB Package). No example is provided with this release.
