mi_large_object_pin()

The mi_large_object_pin() function accesses data in a multirepresentational data type.

Syntax

Usage

The mi_large_object_pin() function is typically invoked on entry to a user-defined function that must get a value from a multirepresentational data type. When the application is finished using the data, it should call mi_large_object_unpin() to release the object resources.

Use mi_large_object_unpin() to unpin this memory when it is no longer needed.

Return Values

On success, returns a pointer to the data in a multirepresentational type.
