Large Attribute APIs

Use large string and binary attributes.

You can import large messages containing binary objects (BLOBs) to the client, send new or changed large objects to the server, and efficiently handle large attributes on the client.

The large attribute APIs allow clients to import large messages from the server or send a replay message without using excessive memory and possibly throwing exceptions. Clients can also access or modify a large attribute without reading the entire attribute into memory. In addition, clients can execute queries without having large attribute valuies automatically filled in the returned MBO lists or result sets.

• SUPBigBinary
  An object that allows access to a persistent binary value that may be too large to fit in available memory. A streaming API is provided to allow the value to be accessed in chunks.
• SUPBigString
  An object that allows access to a persistent string value that might be too large to fit in available memory. A streaming API is provided to allow the value to be accessed in chunks.
