Obtain a valid LO file descriptor

You can obtain status information for any smart large object for which you have a valid LO file descriptor.

To obtain an LO file descriptor, you can take any of the following actions:
  • Select an existing smart large object from a column in a database and open it.
  • Create a new smart large object.
  • Receive the LO handle as an argument.

    A DataBlade® API module can receive an argument that might provide the LO handle directly or it might provide an opaque data type in which the smart large object is embedded.
