OCI-Lob->flush()

OCI-Lob->flush - Flushes/writes buffer of the LOB to the server

Syntax

bool OCI-Lob->flush (int $flag)

Arguments

• flag - By default, resources are not freed, but using flag OCI_LOB_BUFFER_FREE you can do it explicitly. Be sure you know what you\'re doing - next read/write operation to the same part of LOB will involve a round-trip to the server and initialize new buffer resources. It is recommended to use OCI_LOB_BUFFER_FREE flag only when you are not going to work with the LOB anymore.

Description

OCI-Lob->flush() actually writes data to the server.

Version

PHP 5, PECL OCI8 >= 1.1.0

Return value

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
