Problem when trying to display image from database

[eluser]rachj[/eluser]
Hi,

I am trying to print a long string that I have stored as a CLOB type column in ORACLE. I am trying to use the code as suggested in this thread.


$this->db->select("RESIDUES");
$this->db->from($table);
$Q = $this->db->get();

foreach($Q->result() as $field){
$s = $field->RESIDUES;
$ss = $s->size();
}

On running this, I get the following error for OCI-Lob object
Fatal error: Call to a member function size() on a non-object in (some path)/system/application/controllers/display/general_sequence.php on line 39

I would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks
