Interface EngineLOB

All Known Implementing Classes:
EmbedBlob, EmbedClob
public interface EngineLOB
Additional methods the embedded engine exposes on all of its large object (LOB) implementations.

An internal API only, mainly for the network server.

Implementation note: If a new method is needed, that only applies to one specific large object type (for instance a Blob), one should consider creating a new interface that extends from this one.
