Initialize an LO-specification structure

The mi_lo_spec_init() function initializes the LO-specification structure with values that obtain the system-specified storage characteristics. The system-specified storage characteristics are the defaults that the database server uses. They are the storage characteristics at the bottom of the storage-characteristics hierarchy.

After this initialization, you can change the values in the LO-specification structure:
  • The new smart large object inherits column-level storage characteristics of a CLOB or BLOB column.
  • You provide user-specified storage characteristics for the new smart large object.
