   (PHP 4 >= 4.2.0)
   fbsql_set_lob_mode --  Set the LOB retrieve mode for a FrontBase
   result set

Description

   bool fbsql_set_lob_mode ( resource result, string database_name)

   Returns: TRUE on success, FALSE on error.

   fbsql_set_lob_mode() sets the mode for retrieving LOB data from the
   database. When BLOB and CLOB data is stored in FrontBase it can be
   stored direct or indirect. Direct stored LOB data will always be
   fetched no matter the setting of the lob mode. If the LOB data is less
   than 512 bytes it will always be stored directly.

     * FBSQL_LOB_DIRECT - LOB data is retrieved directly. When data is
       fetched from the database with fbsql_fetch_row(), and other fetch
       functions, all CLOB and BLOB columns will be returned as ordinary
       columns. This is the default value on a new FrontBase result.
     * FBSQL_LOB_HANDLE - LOB data is retrieved as handles to the data.
       When data is fetched from the database with fbsql_fetch_row (),
       and other fetch functions, LOB data will be returned as a handle
       to the data if the data is stored indirect or the data if it is
       stored direct. If a handle is returned it will be a 27 byte string
       formatted as "@'000000000000000000000000'".
