Open Client and Open Server version 15.7 support large object (LOB) locators. A LOB locator contains a logical pointer to LOB data in Adaptive Server rather than the data itself, thereby reducing the amount of data that passes through the network between Adaptive Server and its clients.
Adaptive Server 15.7 includes Transact-SQL® commands and functions that operate on LOB data using LOB locators. You can invoke these commands and functions as language commands from the Client-Library. See Chapter 21, "In-Row Off-Row LOB" in the Adaptive Server Enterprise Transact-SQL Users Guide.
