Thread: Lob Streaming

Hi,

Does psql-odbc driver support lob streaming? I could successfully get
'bytea' content, but for large size > GB lobs I  am running into memory
issues. Can you body suggest any alternatives.

Thanks

Ramesh..

Thank you for the info.

I am afraid, the code I see in the ODBC driver is not doing streaming.
It makes one lo_read call based on the buffer size configured in your
client and truncates the rest of the content.

What I would like to have seen is, driver making a small length lo_read
calls to fill up the buffer size provided by the client, then truncate
if the size is larger, not request one huge chuck of read from the
server.

Ramesh..
