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

LO_spec

is a pointer to the LO-specification structure in which to save the maximum size.

maxbytes

is a pointer to an eight-byte integer (mi_int8) structure that contains the maximum number of bytes for the smart large object.

The mi_lo_specset_maxbytes( ) function is the LO-specification accessor function that sets the maximum size of a new smart large object. When you set a maximum size, the smart-large-object optimizer does not allow the size of a smart large object to exceed the maxbytes value. Most applications do not need to specify a maximum size.

After you set the maximum size in an LO-specification structure, you pass this structure to a smart-large-object creation function (such as mi_lo_create( )) to provide the maximum size as a user-supplied storage characteristic for a new smart large object.

MI_OK

indicates that the function was successful.

MI_ERROR

indicates that the function was not successful.
