Description
In its first form, creates an OLE object, and establishes the object’s persistence. In its second form, alters
the persistence of a previously-instantiated OLE object.
Syntax
FUNCTION CREATE_OLEOBJ
(name OLEOBJ, persistence_boolean := TRUE)
RETURN objpointer OLEOBJ;
...or...
FUNCTION CREATE_OLEOBJ
(localobject VARCHAR2,
persistence_boolean := TRUE)
RETURN objpointer OLEOBJ;
Built-in Type unrestricted function
Returns pointer to the OLE object
Parameters
name The program ID of the OLE object’s server.
localobject A pointer to the OLE object whose status is to be
changed from non-persistent to persistent.
persistence_boolean A boolean value of TRUE establishes the object as
persistent. This is an optional parameter. If not

A persistent object exists across trigger invocations. A non-persistent object exists only as long as the
trigger that spawned the call runs.
