TOraDataSetOptionsDS.CacheLobs Property

Used to allocate local memory buffer to hold a copy of the Lob content.

Class

TOraDataSetOptionsDS

Syntax

property CacheLobs: boolean stored False default True;

Remarks

If True, (the default value) then local memory buffer is allocated to hold a copy of the Lob content. See the notes below for further details.

Note: CacheLobs option controls the way Lob objects are handled while the application fetches records from the database. Setting CacheLobs to False may bring up the following benefits for time-critical applications: reduced traffic over the network since Lob objects are only transferred on demand; less memory is needed on the client side because returned record sets do not hold contents of Lob fields. Actual value for the Lob field is passed to the client only when a data-aware control requests it.
