Retrieving LONG data using static SQL

Retrieve a LONG VARCHAR, LONG NVARCHAR, or LONG BINARY value using static SQL.

Prérequis

There are no prerequisites for this task.

 Task
  1. Declare a host variable of type DECL_LONGVARCHAR, DECL_LONGNVARCHAR, or DECL_LONGBINARY, as appropriate. The array_len member is filled in automatically.

  2. Retrieve the data using FETCH, GET DATA, or EXECUTE INTO. SQL Anywhere sets the following information:

    • indicator variable   Negative if the value is NULL, 0 if there is no truncation, otherwise the positive untruncated length in bytes up to a maximum of 32767.

    • stored_len   The number of bytes stored in the array. Always less than or equal to array_len and untrunc_len.

    • untrunc_len   The number of bytes that would be stored in the array if the value was not truncated. Always greater than or equal to stored_len. If truncation occurs, this value is larger than array_len.

Résultat

The LONG data is retrieved using static SQL.
