OracleLob.Erase Method

Definition

Erases data from this OracleLob.

Overloads

Erase()

Erases all data from this OracleLob.

Erase(Int64, Int64)

Erases the specified amount of data from this OracleLob.

Erase()

Erases all data from this OracleLob.

public:
 long Erase();
public long Erase ();
member this.Erase : unit -> int64
Public Function Erase () As Long

Returns

The number of bytes erased.

Exceptions

The operation is not within a transaction, the OracleLob object is null, or the connection is closed.

The object was closed or disposed.

An Oracle error has occurred.

Remarks

Erase does not truncate data. The LOB length remains the same for a BLOB data type, and the erased data is replaced by 0x00. CLOB and NCLOB data types are replaced by spaces.

To write to the LOB, you must have retrieved the LOB using the FOR UPDATE clause in the SQL SELECT statement, and you must have a local transaction started.

Note

In this release, a write operation to a read-only LOB might succeed, but does not update the LOB on the server. In this case, however, the local copy of the LOB is updated. Therefore, later read operations on the OracleLob object might return the results of the write operation.

Applies to

Erase(Int64, Int64)

Erases the specified amount of data from this OracleLob.

public:
 long Erase(long offset, long amount);
public long Erase (long offset, long amount);
member this.Erase : int64 * int64 -> int64
Public Function Erase (offset As Long, amount As Long) As Long

Parameters

offset
Int64

The offset from which to erase. For CLOB and NCLOB data types, this must be an even number.

amount
Int64

The quantity of data, in bytes, to erase. For CLOB and NCLOB data types, this must be an even number.

Returns

The number of bytes erased.

Exceptions

The operation is not within a transaction, the OracleLob object is null, or the connection is closed.

The object was closed or disposed.

An Oracle error has occurred.

Remarks

The sum of the values in the offset and amount parameters can be greater than that of the size of the OracleLob. Therefore, specifying a value greater than that returned by the Length property succeeds; however Erase only erases to the end of the OracleLob. (Similarly, if a negative value is passed to offset, Erase will succeed, but only erase starting from the beginning of the OracleLob.) This behavior is different from that of the Read and Write methods, and offers the advantage of being able to erase all data from the value specified by offset without making an additional roundtrip to the server to verify the actual size.

Erase does not truncate data. The LOB length remains the same for a BLOB data type, and the erased data is replaced by 0x00. CLOB and NCLOB data types are replaced by spaces.

To write to the LOB, you must have retrieved the LOB using the FOR UPDATE clause in the SQL SELECT statement, and you must have a local transaction started.
