Suggest edits

The ERASE procedure erases a portion of a large object. To erase a large object means to replace the specified portion with zero-byte fillers for BLOB or with spaces for CLOB. The actual size of the large object isn't altered.

ERASE(<lob_loc> IN OUT { BLOB | CLOB }, <amount> IN OUT INTEGER
  [, <offset> INTEGER ])

Parameters

lob_loc

Large object locator of the large object to erase.

amount IN

Number of bytes/characters to erase.

amount OUT

Number of bytes/characters erased. This value can be smaller than the input value if the end of the large object is reached before amount bytes/characters are erased.

offset

Position in the large object where erasing begins. The first byte/character is position 1. The default is 1.
