fbsql_read_clob -- Read a CLOB from the database

Description

string fbsql_read_clob ( string clob_handle [, resource link_identifier])

Returns: A string containing the CLOB specified by clob_handle.

fbsql_read_clob() reads CLOB data from the database. If a select statement contains BLOB and/or CLOB columns FrontBase will return the data directly when data is fetched. This default behavior can be changed with fbsql_set_lob_mode() so the fetch functions will return handles to BLOB and CLOB data. If a handle is fetched a user must call fbsql_read_clob() to get the actual CLOB data from the database.
