Temporary LOBs, 6 of 29
See:
"Use Case Model: Internal Temporary LOBs", for all basic operations of Internal Temporary LOBs. |
This procedure describes how to see if a LOB is temporary.
Not applicable.
See Chapter 3, "LOB Support in Different Programmatic Environments" for a list of available functions in each programmatic environment. Use the following syntax references for each programmatic environment:
These are generic examples that query whether the locator is associated with a temporary LOB
or not.
Examples are provided in the following programmatic environments:
/* This is also an example of freeing a temporary LOB. First we test to make sure that the LOB locator points to a temporary LOB, then we free it. Otherwise, we issue an error: */ CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE freeTempLob_proc(Lob_loc IN OUT BLOB) IS BEGIN /* Free the temporary LOB locator passed in. */ /* First check to make sure that the locator is pointing to a temporary LOB:*/ IF DBMS_LOB.ISTEMPORARY(Lob_loc) = 1 THEN /* Free the temporary LOB locator: */ DBMS_LOB.FREETEMPORARY(Lob_loc); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' temporary LOB was freed'); ELSE /* Print an error: */ DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( 'Locator passed in was not a temporary LOB locator'); END IF; END;
/* This function also frees a temporary LOB. It takes a locator as an argument, checks to see if it is a temporary LOB, and if it is the function will free the temporary LOB. Otherwise, it will print out a message saying the locator wasn't a temporary LOB locator. This function returns 0 if it completes successfully, and -1 otherwise: */ sb4 check_and_free_temp(OCILobLocator *tblob, OCIError *errhp, OCISvcCtx *svchp, OCIStmt *stmthp, OCIEnv *envhp) { boolean is_temp; is_temp = FALSE; if (OCILobIsTemporary(envhp, errhp, tblob, &is_temp)) { printf ("FAILED: OCILobIsTemporary call\n"); return -1; } if(is_temp) { if(OCILobFreeTemporary(svchp, errhp, tblob)) { printf ("FAILED: OCILobFreeTemporary call\n"); return -1; }else { printf("Temporary LOB freed\n"); } }else { printf("locator is not a temporary LOB locator\n"); } return 0; }

To see if a BLOB is temporary, the JDBC application can either use the isTemporary instance method to determine whether the current BLOB object is temporary, or pass the BLOB object to the static isTemporary method to determine whether the specified BLOB object is temporary. These two methods are defined as follows:
/** * Returns true if lob locator points to a temporary blob. False if not. * @param lob the blob to test. * @returns true if lob locator points to a temporary blob. False if not. */ public static boolean isTemporary (BLOB lob) throws SQLException /** * Returns true if lob locator points to a temporary blob. False if not. * @returns true if lob locator points to a temporary blob. False if not. */ public boolean isTemporary () throws SQLException The usage example is -- BLOB blob = ... // See if the BLOB is temporary boolean isTemporary = blob.isTemporary (); // See if the specified BLOB is temporary boolean isTemporary2 = BLOB.isTemporary(blob);
This new JDBC APIs replaces previous workarounds that use DBMS_LOB.isTemporary().
To see if a CLOB is temporary, the JDBC application can either use the isTemporary instance method to determine whether the current CLOB object is temporary, or pass the CLOB object to the static isTemporary method to determine whether the specified CLOB object is temporary. These two methods are defined as follows:
/** * Return true if the lob locator points to a temporary clob. False if it * does not. * * @param lob the blob to test. * @return true if the lob locator points to a temporary clob. False if it * does not. */ public static boolean isTemporary (CLOB lob) throws SQLException /** * Return true if the lob locator points to a temporary clob. False if it * does not. * * @return true if the lob locator points to a temporary clob. False if it * does not. */ public boolean isTemporary () throws SQLException
The usage example is:
CLOB clob = ... // See if the CLOB is temporary boolean isTemporary = clob.isTemporary (); // See if the specified CLOB is temporary boolean isTemporary2 = CLOB.isTemporary(clob);
This new API replaces previous workarounds that used DBMS_LOB.istemporary().
