OCI-Lob::setBuffering — Changes current state of buffering for the large object

Description

bool OCI-Lob::setBuffering ( bool $on_off )

Sets the buffering for the large object, depending on the value of the on_off parameter.

Use of this function may provide performance improvements by buffering small reads and writes of LOBs by reducing the number of network round-trips and LOB versions. OCI-Lob::flush() should be used to flush buffers, when you have finished working with the large object.

Parameters

on_off

TRUE for on and FALSE for off.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. Repeated calls to this method with the same flag will return TRUE.
