This routine allows DATASET data to be written to a LOB associated with a DATASET instance.
Syntax
void FNC_GetDatasetResultLob( DATASET_HANDLE datasetHandle, LOB_RESULT_LOCATOR* instance )
Syntax Elements
- datasetHandle
- A handle to a DATASET data type instance that is defined to be an input parameter to an external routine.
- instance
- A pointer to a LOB_RESULT_LOCATOR to be used to write the LOB data of a DATASET instance.
Usage Notes
Use FNC_GetDatasetResultLob only when the DATASET data will be stored as a LOB. If FNC_GetDatasetInfo returns dataLob > 0, you can use FNC_GetDatasetResultLob; otherwise, you should use FNC_SetInternalValue instead.
The LOB_RESULT_LOCATOR obtained may be used with all LOB FNC routines that allow the user to write to this LOB.
For Avro instances, this routine returns a LOB_RESULT_LOCATOR which allows a user to write the UTF-8 encoded schema, null-terminated, followed by the binary-encoded Avro value to a buffer. This is equivalent to the transform format. Failure to write the data in this format results in an error.
For CSV values, the value is written to the result LOB, but does not include any optional schema.
