ID: 2807 Updated by: jimw Reported By: robert.everett@wcom.com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: refiling against 4.0. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1999-11-24 10:31:24] thies@cvs.php.net that's the way it's designed. and i'm not sure if it can be changed - if you could provide me with some docs how it's done i might have a look at it. moving to Feature/Change request. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [1999-11-23 22:52:24] robert.everett@wcom.com 1. When selecting a row containing more than one LOB, the descriptors for all but the first LOB are freed after the fetches are complete. 2. When selecting multiple rows containing a LOB, descriptors are only created for one row and reused. Therefore, the descriptors are only valid for the last row after the fetches are complete. In addition, if each row contains more than one LOB, the above condition also applies. This becomes a problem when trying to create an array of the result set for later user since all but one of the LOB descriptors are no longer valid. LOB descriptors must be used *immediately* when fetching a row or they can't be used at all. Unless using the OCI_RETURN_LOBS flag, LOB descriptors should be created for each row and shouldn't be freed until explicitly freed by the user. At the very least, a flag should be created that will allow this behavior (OCI_RETURN_ALL_LOCATORS?).
