Client APIs and toolsYou can use the HCL OneDB™ implementation of client APIs to develop applications for HCL OneDB™ database servers.
HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver GuideThe HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver Programmer's Manual serves as a user guide and reference for HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver, which is the HCL OneDB™ implementation of the Microsoft™ Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface, Version 3.0.
Smart large objectsThese topics describe how to store, create, and access a smart large object; how to transfer smart-large-object data; how to retrieve the status of a smart large object; and how to read or write a smart large object to or from a file.
Access a smart large objectThis section describes how to select, open, delete, modify, and close a smart large object by using either the standard ODBC API or by using ifx_lo functions.
The ifx_lo functionsThis section describes how to select, open, delete, modify, and close a smart large object by using ifx_lo functions.
Close a smart large objectAfter you finish modifying a smart large object, call ifx_lo_close() to deallocate the resources that are assigned to it.

Close a smart large object

After you finish modifying a smart large object, call ifx_lo_close() to deallocate the resources that are assigned to it.

When the resources are freed, you can reallocate them to other structures that your application needs. You can also reallocate the smart-large-object file descriptor to other smart large objects.
