Description |
---|---|
amount | An integer specifying the maximum number of characters or bytes to be erased. |
offset | An integer specifying absolute offset of the LOB value from which to start erasing. Default value is 1. |
Either a row-level lock or object-level lock should be obtained before calling this method. The actual number of characters/bytes and the requested number of characters/bytes will differ if the end of the LOB value is reached before erasing the requested number of characters/bytes. For OBlobs, erasing means that zeroes are used to overwrite the existing LOB value. For OClobs, erasing means that spaces overwrite the existing LOB value.
