mi_integer mi_lo_specget_maxbytes(LO_spec, maxbytes)
   MI_LO_SPEC *LO_spec;
   mi_int8 *maxbytes;

LO_spec

is a pointer to the LO-specification structure from which to obtain the maximum size.

maxbytes

is a pointer to an eight-byte integer (mi_int8) value into which mi_lo_specget_maxbytes( ) puts the maximum size, in bytes, of the smart large object.

The mi_lo_specget_maxbytes( ) function is the LO-specification accessor function that returns the maximum size from a set of storage characteristics. The smart-large-object optimizer does not allow the size of a smart large object to exceed the maxbytes value.

You can use any of the following functions to initialize the LO-specification structure:

• The mi_lo_colinfo_by_ids( ) or mi_lo_colinfo_by_name( ) function puts storage characteristics that are associated with a particular CLOB or BLOB column in an LO-specification structure.
• The mi_lo_stat_cspec( ) function puts storage characteristics of an existing smart large object in an LO-specification.
• The mi_lo_specset_maxbytes( ) function sets the maximum size in an LO-specification structure.

The mi_lo_specget_maxbytes( ) function obtains the current value for the maximum size from the LO-specification structure that LO_spec references.

MI_OK

indicates that the function was successful.

MI_ERROR

indicates that the function was not successful; the LO-specification structure might be invalid.
