# ReturnLobsAsStrings.py

# Returns all CLOB values as strings and BLOB values as bytes. The

# performance of this technique is significantly better than fetching the LOBs

# and then reading the contents of the LOBs as it avoids round-trips to the

# database. Be aware, however, that this method requires contiguous memory so

# is not usable for very large LOBs.

# This script requires cx_Oracle 5.0 and higher.
