Should this be MAX_LOB_FILE_NAME_LEN+6+1 (to allow for "s_save" and for a
trailing null)?
> Support for empty_blob() and update syntax using lobhandle
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TRAFODION-2408
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-2408
> Project: Apache Trafodion
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: sql-exe
> Reporter: Sandhya Sundaresan
> Assignee: Sandhya Sundaresan
>
> This subtask in SQL is to help JDBC implementation for LOBs. They require the
> eimplementation of 2 interfaces
> .EMPTY_BLOB() , EMPTY_CLOB()
> update done directly to a lobhandle . This update syntax is different form
> the regular updates to lob columns using position.
> Assume a lob table of type :
> Create table tlob(c1 int , c2 blob, primary key (c1));
> Insert :
> Insert into tlob values (1, empty_blob());
> Insert into tlob values (1,empty_clob());
>
>
> This will create a lob handle . It will also create an empty descriptor
> handle entry and 1 chunk in the descriptor chunks table that is of size 0.
>
> The “type” of the lob handle will be the same as the underlying lob type of
> the column.
>
> Eg if we had created the table to hold external lobs
> Create table tlob(c1 int , c2 blob storage ‘external’ , primary key
> (c1));
> Insert into tlob values (1, empty_blob());
>
> The lob handle for this tlobext will contain the type ‘8’ instead of ‘2’ (as
> is the case for tlob.)
>
> But looking at the lob handle you will not be able to say if it’s empty or
> not. But if lob data is selected out it will be empty.
>
> Update:
> Assume tlob has some lob data in it.
>
> Update tlob set c2=empty_blob();
> This will replace all lob data in the table with the empty lob.
> The lob handle remains the same as before.
>
> Update tlob set c2 = stringtolob(‘xxxx’);
> This will replace the empty lob entry inth
> descriptor handle and descriptor chunks table with a new entry.
> OR
> Update tlob set c2 – stringtolob(‘xxxx’, append);
> This will append the new data to the empty lob. So
> it will leave 2 entries in the descriptor handle and descriptor chunks table.
>
> But the result when you select the data will be the same in both cases
> above.
>
>
> Update directly using a lobhandle using a buffer programmatically :
> New syntax has been introduced to allow updating a lob entry using lob
> handle directory. This is not positional syntax.
>
> The syntax is as follows :
>
> update lob (LOB ‘<lob handle>’, LOCATION < int64 address>, SIZE <
> int64 size>);
> This will take a lob handle as input (it could be an empty lob or have
> existing data). It will replace the contents with the data specified in
> LOCATION.
>
> update lob (LOB ‘<lob handle>’, LOCATION < int64 address>, SIZE <
> int64 size>, APPEND);
> This will take a lob handle as input (it could be an empty lob or have
> existing data). It will append the contents with the data specified in
> LOCATION.
>
> update lob (LOB ‘<lob handle>’, TRUNCATE);
> This will truncate the existing data and initialize the lob to empty_lob
> for the provided lob handle.
