Well, I'm making progress in my attempt to incorporate large objects in my NT
application. At this point I can export an object but the resulting file is
corrupt. The object within the database is not corrupt. I have checked by
using the normal lo_export function. Following is the section of code used to
create the file. I have removed the error checks for readability here. The
normal C function calls open(), write(), and close() as well as the single
call to lo_export() produce the corrupted file, the commented out Win32
calls cause a memory fault.
res = PQexec(conn, "begin");
PQclear(res);
lobj_fd = lo_open(conn, lobjId, INV_READ);
/* lo_export(conn, lobjId, filename); */
fd = open(filename, OF_CREATE | OF_WRITE, 0666);
/* fd = CreateFile(filename, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_DELETE
| FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); */
while ((nbytes = lo_read(conn, lobj_fd, buf, BUFSIZE)) > 0)
{
tmp = write(fd, buf, nbytes);
/* tmp =WriteFile(fd, buf, nbytes, BUFSIZE, NULL); */
}
/* (void) lo_close(conn, lobj_fd); */
(void) close(fd);
(void) CloseHandle(fd);
res = PQexec(conn, "end");
PQclear(res);
PQfinish(conn);
