mi_large_object_read()

The mi_large_object_read() function reads data from any type of smart large object, starting from the current position.

Usage

Tip: Informix provides the mi_large_object_read() function for backward compatibility only. Use the mi_lo_read() function for all new DataBlade routines.

Return Values

On success, returns the number of bytes read; on failure, returns MI_ERROR.
