The mi_lo_delete_immediate() function

Syntax

mi_integer mi_lo_delete_immediate(conn, LO_hdl)
   MI_CONNECTION *conn;
   MI_LO_HANDLE *LO_hdl;

conn

This value is one of the following connection values:

A pointer to a connection descriptor established by a previous call to mi_open(), mi_server_connect(), or mi_server_reconnect().

A NULL-valued pointer (database server only)

LO_hdl

A pointer to the LO handle that identifies the smart large object to be deleted.

Valid in client LIBMI application?	Valid in user-defined routine?
Yes	Yes

Usage

The mi_lo_delete_immediate() function deletes the smart large object that the LO_hdl LO handle identifies. Normally, the database server deletes all smart large objects that have a reference count of zero and no open LO file descriptors at the end of the transaction. Therefore, you do not usually need to issue explicit delete calls. The mi_lo_delete_immediate() function is useful when you want to delete some transient smart large object right away and reuse its associated resources. This function can delete a transient smart large object only when no open LO file descriptors exist for the smart large object.

Return values

MI_OK

The function was successful.

MI_ERROR

The function was not successful.
