<a name="GdaBlobOp.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>This object is a base class for individual database providers which support BLOB types. It supports
operations to read and write data in a BLOB value (of type GDA_BLOB_TYPE).</p>
<p>Libgda offers two methods to manipulate binary values as two containers: <a class="link" href="libgda-5.0-Gda-Value.html#GdaBinary">GdaBinary</a>
and <a class="link" href="libgda-5.0-Gda-Value.html#GdaBlob" title="GdaBlob">GdaBlob</a>:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>When reading from a data model returned by <span class="application">Libgda</span> binary data will often be in a GdaBlob
  object, and the associated <a class="link" href="GdaBlobOp.html" title="Blobs">GdaBlobOp</a> object can be used to manipulate the
  binary object (in a database for example)</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>When the binary value is created by the user, then there is no point in using a GdaBlob as
  there can not be any <a class="link" href="GdaBlobOp.html" title="Blobs">GdaBlobOp</a> object, so the GdaBinary container is
  enough.</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>Note that a <a class="link" href="libgda-5.0-Gda-Value.html#GdaBlob" title="GdaBlob">GdaBlob</a> value (the "data" attribute) will often not contain any data
(or only some part of the actual BLOB)
and that it's up to the user to use the associated <a class="link" href="GdaBlobOp.html" title="Blobs">GdaBlobOp</a> object to
"load" the data into the container (into the actual process heap).</p>
<p>For example to load the 1st 40 bytes of a blob:</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
GValue *blob_value = ...
GdaBlob *blob;

blob = (GdaBlob*) gda_value_get_blob (blob_value);
gda_blob_op_read (blob-&gt;op, blob, 0, 40);
 </pre>
<p>Another example is to write the contents of a blob to a file on disk, using a special</p>
<a class="link" href="GdaBlobOp.html" title="Blobs">GdaBlobOp</a> object (internal to <span class="application">Libgda</span> which interfaces
<p> with a file in a filesystem):</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
GValue *blob_value; // value to copy from
GValue *tmp_value;
GdaBlob *file_blob;

GValue *blob_value = ...
tmp_value = gda_value_new_blob_from_file ("MyFile.bin");
file_blob = (GdaBlob*) gda_value_get_blob (tmp_value);

if (! gda_blob_op_write_all (file_blob-&gt;op, gda_value_get_blob (blob_value))) {
      // error
}
else {
      gsize size;
      size = gda_blob_op_get_length (file_blob-&gt;op);
      g_print ("Wrote %s, size = %d\n", filename, size);
}
gda_value_free (tmp_value);
 </pre>
