## Detailed Description

Blobs handling.

This object is a base class for individual database providers which support BLOB types. It supports operations to read and write data in a BLOB.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::~BlobOp | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::BlobOp | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`

## Member Function Documentation

static Glib::RefPtr<BlobOp> Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::create | ( |  | ) | `[static]`

long Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::get_length | ( |  | ) | const

Returns:
  The length of the blob in bytes. In case of error, -1 is returned and the provider should have added an error (a Gda::ConnectionEvent) to the connection.

const GdaBlobOp* Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

GdaBlobOp* Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

GdaBlobOp* Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

long Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::read | ( | Blob& | blob,
|  | long | offset,
|  | long | size |
| ) |  |  |

Reads a chunk of bytes from the BLOB accessible through op into blob.

Parameters:

  | blob | A Gda::Blob to read data to.
  | offset | Offset to read from the start of the blob (starts at 0).
  | size | Maximum number of bytes to read.

Returns:
  The number of bytes actually read. In case of error, -1 is returned and the provider should have added an error to the connection.

bool Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::read_all | ( | Blob& | blob | ) |

Reads the whole contents of the blob manipulated by op into blob.

Parameters:

  | blob | A Gda::Blob to read data to.

Returns:
  `true` if blob->data contains the whole BLOB manipulated by op.

long Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::write | ( | Blob& | blob,
|  | long | offset |
| ) |  |  |

Writes a chunk of bytes from a blob to the BLOB accessible through op.

Parameters:

  | blob | A Gda::Blob which contains the data to write.
  | offset | Offset to write from the start of the blob (starts at 0).

Returns:
  The number of bytes written. In case of error, -1 is returned and the provider should have added an error to the connection.

bool Gnome::Gda::BlobOp::write_all | ( | Blob& | blob | ) |

Writes the whole contents of blob into the blob manipulated by op.

If necessary the resulting blob is truncated from its previous length.

Parameters:

  | blob | A Gda::Blob which contains the data to write.

Returns:
  `true` on success.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gnome::Gda::BlobOp > wrap | ( | GdaBlobOp * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  | object | The C instance.
  | take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
