Right you are ! I did see the parameter,  but I wrote my previous remark
incorrectly:  what I meant was that there is no 'length' parameter (rather than
no 'offset') that would allow writing chunks without copying to a smaller buffer.

By the way,  OCI now has extended writes(OCILobWrite2) with 64 bit offsets and
lengths.
