Hi all, I need to read some large object and am wondering how much data "loread" returns in case it successfully reads at all AND the object contains at least as much data as requested. In that case, does "loread" always return the requested amount of data or does one need to always loop when calling that function? I didn't find any explicit docs regarding that point and almost all examples I saw where issuing one call with large amounts of requested data, regardless of the size of the large object. The latter most likely means that if available, all requested data is always returned. Besides that, if "loread" is used in a loop for various reasons already, one would need to count the overall number of bytes read to know when the last chunk was read. Instead, it would be enough to check for if the last returned chunk is less than requested. > LOOP > chunk := loread(fd, CHUNK_SIZE); > chunkSize := length(chunk); > fdRead := fdRead + chunkSize; > [...] > --EXIT WHEN (chunkSize < CHUNK_SIZE); > EXIT WHEN (fdRead = fdSize); > END LOOP; Is the first EXIT sufficient already and "fdRead" unnecessary? Thanks!
