# OCINewDescriptor

OCINewDescriptor -- Initialize a new empty descriptor LOB/FILE (LOB is default)

## Description

`string OCINewDescriptor`(int connection, int [type]);

OCINewDescriptor() Allocates storage to hold descriptors or LOB locators. Valid values for the valid `type` are OCI_D_FILE, OCI_D_LOB, OCI_D_ROWID. For LOB desriptors, the methods load, save, and savefile are associated with the descriptor, for BFILE only the load method exists. See the second example usage hints.

Example 1. OCINewDescriptor
