Example of creating a smart large object
The code example, locreate.c, shows how to create a smart large object.
You can find the locreate.c file
in the %INFORMIXDIR%/demo/clidemo directory on UNIX™ platforms and in the %INFORMIXDIR%\demo\odbcdemo directory
in Windows™ environments.
You can also find instructions on how to build the odbc_demo database
in the same location.
