User-defined storage characteristics
To specify user-defined storage characteristics, call an ifx_lo_specset_* function.
You can define a unique set of storage characteristics
for a new smart large object, as follows:
- For a smart large object that will be stored in a column, you
can override some storage characteristics for the column when you
create an instance of a smart large object.
If you do not override some or all of these characteristics, the smart large object uses the column-level storage characteristics.
- You can specify a wider set of characteristics for a smart large
object because a smart large object is not constrained by table column
properties.
If you do not override some or all of these characteristics, the smart large object inherits the system-specified storage characteristics.
