		MI_LO_SPEC *LO_spec;

		mi_integer extsz; 


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

extsz
is an integer value for the size, in kilobytes, of the allocation extent of a smart large object.

Important: Before you call mi_lo_specset_extsz(), you must initialize an LO-
specification structure.

When you set the extent size with mi_lo_specset_extsz(), you override any column-level or system-specified extent size in the LO-specification structure. You then pass this LO-specification structure to a smart-large-object creation function (such as mi_lo_create()) to provide the extent size as a user-supplied storage characteristic for a new smart large object.

The smart-large-object optimizer attempts to optimize the extent size based on past operations on the smart large object and other storage characteristics (such as maximum bytes) that it obtains from the storage-characteristics hierarchy. Most applications can use this generated extent size.

Important: Do not change the system-specified extent size unless your application encounters severe storage fragmentation. For such applications, make sure that you know exactly the number of bytes by which to extend the smart large object.

Return Values

MI_OK	The function was successful.
MI_ERROR	The function was not successful.

In Chapter 3, "Handling Smart Large Objects," see "Storage Characteristics" for more information on the allocation extent size of a smart large object. See "The LO-Specification Structure", and "Defining User-Specified Storage Characteristics" for information on how to use the mi_lo_specset_extsz() function.
