Property Description
SendStreamAsBlob
OPTIONAL
{true | false}
Determines whether binary stream data that is less than 32K bytes is sent
to the database as Long Varchar for Bit Data or Blob data. Binary stream
data that is less than 32K bytes can be inserted into a Long Varchar for
Bit Data column, which has a maximum length of 32K bytes, or a Blob
column. Binary streams that are larger than 32K bytes can only be inserted
into a Blob column. The driver always sends binary stream data larger than
32K bytes to the database as Blob data. This property determines behavior
as follows:
● true — The driver sends binary stream data that is less than 32K to
the database as Blob data. If the target column is a Long Varchar for
Bit Data column and not a Blob column, the Insert or Update
statement fails. The driver automatically retries the Insert or Update
statement, sending the data as Long Varchar for Bit Data, if the
stream passed into the driver is resettable. Sending binary stream data
that is less than 32K bytes in length initially as a Blob significantly
improves performance if the Insert or Update column is a Blob
column.
● false — The driver sends binary stream data that is less than 32K to
the database as Long Varchar for Bit Data data. If the target column
is a Blob column and not a Long Varchar for Bit Data column, the
Insert or Update statement fails. The driver retries the Insert or
Update statement, sending the data as Blob data.
The default is false.
ServerName Specifies either the IP address or the server name (if your network
supports named servers) of the primary database server. For example,
122.23.15.12 or DB2Server.
