setLocal( )

Format

setLocal( );

Description

Sets the source.local attribute (of the embedded ORDSource object) to indicate that the data is stored internally in a BLOB. When the source.local attribute is set, methods look for corresponding data in the source.localData attribute.

Parameters

None.

Usage Notes

This method sets the source.local attribute to 1, meaning the data is stored locally in the source.localData attribute.

Pragmas

None.

Exceptions

<object-type>Exceptions.NULL_LOCAL_DATA

This exception is raised if you call the setLocal( ) method and the source.localData attribute value is NULL.

This exception can be raised by ORDAudio, ORDDoc, ORDImage, or ORDVideo object types. Replace <object-type> with the object type to which you apply this method.

Examples

Set the flag to local for the data:

DECLARE
 obj ORDSYS.ORDAudio;
BEGIN
 SELECT product_audio INTO obj FROM online_media WHERE product_id = 1733;
 obj.setLocal;
 UPDATE online_media SET product_audio = obj WHERE product_id = 1733;
 COMMIT;
END;
