in a special large-object structure. Streaming access is useful
when working with data values that are too large to manipulate
conveniently as a whole.

library for the examples in this chapter, but most programming

equivalent functionality. Other interfaces might use the large
object interface internally to provide generic support for large
values. This is not described here.
