Re: How to Insert/Update data type "TEXT" in IDS 1

Posted By: Art Kagel
Date: Tuesday, 2 August 2011, at 11:13 a.m.

In Response To: How to Insert/Update data type "TEXT" in IDS 11.7 (KARTHIK RAJAN)

Oat is preparing the INSERT statement, finding that there is a TEXT type
column and using one of the proper methods to insert data to a TEXT BLOB,
dbaccess and PHP are not doing that so they get errors. You can write your
own ESQL/C program to do this. There is a demo program in
$INFORMIXDIR/demo/esqlc/blobload.ec that uses the LOCFNAME method. You can
also take a look at my dbcopy utility which uses the LOCUSER method. There
are four methods: LOCFILE (pass a file handle to a file containing the blob
data), LOCFNAME (pass a path to the file containing the blob column data),
LOCMEMORY (load the blob data into a memory location and pass that address),
and LOCUSER (provide a set of functions to produce the data for the blob
column). LOCUSER is the fastest method when I tested it several years ago,
LOCFILE and LOCFNAME next fastest (assuming the blob data is already on disk
in a file), and oddly enough LOCMEMORY was slowest.
