9 Locator Interface for LOBs
The Locator Interface for LOBs refers to a set of APIs in different programmatic interfaces, which enables you to perform operations on persistent and temporary LOBs using the LOB locator.
These operations typically take an offset, or an amount parameter, or both, as input argument to facilitate efficient random and piecewise operations on the LOB.
