Subject: Adding parameter to ocisavelob() && $lob->save() and additional
 function to OCI8 extension
From: tony2001@phpclub.net (Antony Dovgal)

Hi, all

I want to propose to add an additional parameter to ocisavelob() && $lob->save();, which will allow to tell how much of LOB to read from Oracle.
As I understand, this will not break BC, if this parameter will be optional and ocisavelob() will continue to read all LOB's content by default.

And this will require a wrapper for OCILobGetLength to make possible to get LOB's length (ocilobgetlength() imo will be the best name for it).
I can try to write a patch for this.

Any objections?

P.S. there are 18 functions in oci8, which are not documented for rather long time. does anybody care about it?
