Limitations of LOB Data (CLOB and BLOB Data Types)
Limitations of the CLOB and BLOB data types, collectively referred to as LOB data, are:
LOB columns can only be in the target column list of these SQL statements:
INSERT statement❍ 
Select list of a SELECT statement❍ 
Column name in the SET clause of an UPDATE statement❍ 
● 
LOB columns cannot be referenced in the SQL/MX functions and expressions.● 
LOB data is not deleted from the LOB table when the base row is deleted unless a trigger is established. For
information about triggers, see Using SQL/MX Triggers to Delete LOB Data.
● 
LOB data is not accessible if the base table name is changed.● 
LOB columns cannot be copied to another table by using the SQL/MX utility commands.● 
The name of a base table that has CLOB or BLOB columns must be unique across all catalogs and schemas when
more than one of these base tables share a single LOB table.
● 
Note: Adding a trigger can affect up to three schemas. For each schema, you must either own the schema or be the
super ID.
The schema where the trigger is created.● 
The schema where the subject table (LOB table) exists.● 
The schema where the referenced table (base table) exists.●
