Description
Returns the number of bytes stored in a LONG or LONG RAW field. Not available
at design time and read-only at run time.
Usage
data_size = orafield.FieldSize( )
data_size = orafield.DbFieldSize( )Remarks
Returns the number of bytes stored in a LONG or LONG RAW field, up to a value
of around 64KB. If the field contains more than 64KB, FieldSize returns -1
(negative one).
Oracle does not return the length of columns that are greater than 64KB, so the only way to
determine the length is to retrieve the column. To conserve resources, columns
of length greater than 64KB are not retrieved automatically.
