Example of retrieving information about a smart large object

The code example, loinfo.c, shows how to retrieve information about a smart large object.

You can find the loinfo.c file in the %ONEDB_HOME%/demo/clidemo directory on UNIX™ platforms and in the %ONEDB_HOME%\demo\odbcdemo directory in Windows™ environments. You can also find instructions on how to build the odbc_demo database in the same location.
