Objetos LOB de Oracle

El proveedor de datos .NET Framework para Oracle incluye la clase OracleLob, que se utiliza para trabajar con tipos de datos LOB de Oracle.

Un OracleLob puede ser uno de estos tipos de datos OracleType:

Un OracleLob se diferencia de un OracleBFile en que los datos se almacenan en el servidor en lugar de en el archivo físico del sistema operativo. También puede ser un objeto de lectura-escritura, a diferencia de OracleBFile, que siempre es de solo lectura.

Creación y recuperación de LOB y forma de escribir en él

En el siguiente ejemplo con C# se muestra cómo se puede crear LOB en una tabla de Oracle y, a continuación, recuperarlos y escribir en ellos como objetos OracleLob. En el ejemplo se muestra el uso del objeto OracleDataReader y de los métodos OracleLob Read y Write. En el ejemplo se utilizan los tipos de datos de Oracle BLOB, CLOB y NCLOB.

Creación de un LOB temporal

En el siguiente ejemplo con C# se muestra cómo crear un LOB temporal.

OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(  
  "server=test8172; integrated security=yes;");  
conn.Open();  
  
OracleTransaction tx = conn.BeginTransaction();  
  
OracleCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();  
cmd.Transaction = tx;  
cmd.CommandText =
  "declare xx blob; begin dbms_lob.createtemporary(  
  xx, false, 0); :tempblob := xx; end;";  
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter("tempblob",  
  OracleType.Blob)).Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;  
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();  
OracleLob tempLob = (OracleLob)cmd.Parameters[0].Value;  
tempLob.BeginBatch(OracleLobOpenMode.ReadWrite);  
tempLob.Write(tempbuff,0,tempbuff.Length);  
tempLob.EndBatch();  
cmd.Parameters.Clear();  
cmd.CommandText = "myTable.myProc";  
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.Add(new OracleParameter(  
  "ImportDoc", OracleType.Blob)).Value = tempLob;  
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();  
  
tx.Commit();
