Long and long raw columns in an Oracle database can hold large amounts of data. The AppendChunk method enables you to add data to a long field piecewise. You can add a maximum of 64K at once. Each call to AppendChunk adds data following any other calls. AppendChunk calls must be made while the dynaset is in an editing mode started by either StartEdit, AddNewRecord, or DuplicateRecord. This method is valid only for fields with server types of OTYPE_LONG or OTYPE_LONGRAW.
Return Value
An oresult indicating whether the operation succeeded (OSUCCESS) or not (OFAILURE).
Example
This example adds take an image segmented into several chunks and stores it in the database.
// we have an open dynaset pictdyn // get an OField on the "picture" field of the dynaset OField pictfield = pictdyn.GetField(); // now start editing pictdyn.StartEdit(); // and loop through the chunks of the picture int ii; for (ii=0; ii<nchunks; ii++) pictfield.AppendChunk((const void *) picture[ii], plen[ii]); // and save it to the database pictdyn.Update();
