Open Client supports the partial update of text and image columns. CS_PARTIAL_TEXT indicates whether or not the client needs to perform a partial update. You can set this property in the connection or context level using ct_con_props() or ct_config(), respectively. The possible values of CS_PARTIAL_TEXT are CS_TRUE and CS_FALSE.
The CS_PARTIAL_TEXT property must be set before a connection to the server is established. If the server does not support partial updates, CS_PARTIAL_TEXT will be reset to CS_FALSE, which is the default value.
