Hi Rick,
I'm working on various LOB improvements, both quality and performance.
It is already mentioned on the 10.5 release page (I'll update it when
necessary).
To sum up remaining work:
o finish work on new header format
o do some cleanup (remove now unused code etc)
o add mechanism to update first X bytes of the CLOB value
o run performance tests and document improvements
I hope to complete the work end of January / start of February, with
the exception of the third item (header update). The header update
mechanism will only affect insertions where the length of the stream
isn't specified ("lengthless overrides"), and for these cases the
performance characteristics will be the same as before when it comes
to obtaining the length.
If I finish when I have planned, there will be plenty of time for bug
fixing. If people have applications using LOBs extensively, it would
be nice if they ran it with trunk to test the new code.
Thanks,
