<p>
The <code class="methodname">Dbc::db_stream()</code> method points to a
key/value pair where the data item is a binary large object
(BLOB). Use the <span class="bold"><strong>flags</strong></span> parameter
to indicate whether the stream is to be opened for reading, or for
reading and writing.
</p>
<p>
Once the stream is opened, you read it using <a class="xref" href="dbstream_read.html" title="DbStream::read()">DbStream::read()</a>, and
you write to it using <a class="xref" href="dbstream_write.html" title="DbStream::write()">DbStream::write()</a>.
</p>
<p>
Close this stream using <a class="xref" href="dbstream_close.html" title="DbStream::close()">DbStream::close()</a>.
</p>
<p>
If the data item is not a BLOB, this method returns an error.
</p>
<p>
Unless otherwise specified, the
<code class="methodname">Dbc::db_stream()</code> <span>
<span>
method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
