interface XBlob

Methods' Summary
length returns the number of bytes in the BLOB value designated by this Blob object.  
getBytes returns as an array of bytes part or all of the BLOB value that this Blob object designates. The byte array contains up to length consecutive bytes starting at position pos.  
getBinaryStream retrieves the BLOB designated by this Blob instance as a stream.  
position determines the byte position at which the specified byte pattern begins within the BLOB value that this Blob object represents. The search for pattern begins at position start .  
positionOfBlob determines the byte position in the BLOB value designated by this Blob object at which pattern begins. The search begins at position start .  
Methods' Details
length
hyper
length()
raises( SQLException );

Description
returns the number of bytes in the BLOB value designated by this Blob object.
Returns
the length
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs.
getBytes
sequence< byte >
getBytes( [in] hyper  pos,
[in] long  length )
raises( SQLException );

Description
returns as an array of bytes part or all of the BLOB value that this Blob object designates. The byte array contains up to length consecutive bytes starting at position pos.
Parameter pos
is the ordinal position of the first byte in the BLOB value to be extracted; the first byte is at position 1.
Parameter length
is the number of consecutive bytes to be copied.
Returns
a byte array containing up to length consecutive bytes from the BLOB value designated by this Blob object, starting with the byte at position pos .
Throws
SQLException if there is an error accessing the BLOB .
getBinaryStream
::com::sun::star::io::XInputStream
getBinaryStream()
raises( SQLException );

Description
retrieves the BLOB designated by this Blob instance as a stream.
Returns
the stream
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs.
position
hyper
position( [in] sequence< byte >  pattern,
[in] hyper  start )
raises( SQLException );

Description
determines the byte position at which the specified byte pattern begins within the BLOB value that this Blob object represents. The search for pattern begins at position start .
Parameter pattern
the pattern to search
Returns
the position
Throws
SQLException if a database access error occurs.
positionOfBlob
hyper
positionOfBlob( [in] XBlob  pattern,
[in] hyper  start )
raises( SQLException );

Description
determines the byte position in the BLOB value designated by this Blob object at which pattern begins. The search begins at position start .
Parameter pattern
the pattern to search
Parameter start
position to start
Returns
the position
