Access a fixed-length opaque type
The fixed binary data type allows you to access a fixed-length opaque-type column in its internal format.
Follow these steps to transfer the internal format of
a fixed-length opaque-type column between the database server and
the Informix®
ESQL/C application:
- Declare a fixed binary host variable
- Use the fixed binary host variable in an SQL statement to perform any select, insert, update, or delete operations on the internal format of the fixed-length opaque-type column.
