values

0 = Permit the copying of temporary smart large objects into permanent tables. Equivalent to the configuration parameter not being set in the onconfig file.

1 = Prevent the copying of temporary smart large objects into permanent tables. The database server returns the following error messages instead of copying the handle of a temporary smart large object:

• -9810: Smart-large-object error.
• -12246: Smart large objects: You cannot put a temporary smart large object into a permanent table

takes effect

After you edit your onconfig file and restart the database server.

Usage

By default, you can copy temporary smart large objects into permanent tables. Smart large object data types, BLOB and CLOB, consist of two parts: the data, which is stored in an sbspace, and the handle, which is stored in a table. When you copy a temporary smart large object into a permanent table, only the BLOB or CLOB handle is copied into the permanent table. If you subsequently drop the temporary smart large object, the permanent table contains a handle that is no longer valid.

To prevent the copying of a temporary smart large object into a permanent table, set the SB_CHECK_FOR_TEMP configuration parameter to 1 in the onconfig file. For example, if the SB_CHECK_FOR_TEMP configuration parameter is set to 1, an INSERT INTO . . . SELECT FROM . . . statement that copies a temporary smart large object into a permanent table fails.
