I am rather new to DBI and a few weeks ago I was geven a program by my
Oracle DBA that showed I can write to a
BLOB data type by setting the ora_type attribute in bind to 24, as in:
$sth->bind_param(1, $data, { ora_type => 24 } );
I have use this now for several weeks and it seems like my code is working
fine.
By looking through some code in my install directory of DBD::Oracle, I found
that
24 is equivalent to ORA_LONGRAW and it seems I should have used the symbol
ORA_BLOB.
Can anyone advise me if I should switch? Is it a coincidence that I have not
noticed an error?
