fbsql_read_blob
Read a BLOB from the database
&reftitle.description;
stringfbsql_read_blob
stringblob_handle
resourcelink_identifier
Reads BLOB data from the database.
If a select statement contains BLOB and/or CLOB columns FrontBase will
return the data directly when data is fetched. This default behavior can
be changed with fbsql_set_lob_mode so the fetch
functions will return handles to BLOB and CLOB data. If a handle is
fetched a user must call fbsql_read_blob to get the
actual BLOB data from the database.
&reftitle.parameters;
blob_handle
A BLOB handle, returned by fbsql_create_blob.
&fbsql.link-identifier.description;
&reftitle.returnvalues;
Returns a string containing the specified BLOB data.
