OCCI - Statement::setDataBuffer()

Hi,
I am using OCCI, and I found the method Statement::setDataBuffer(). I want to use it for PL/SQL code (IN-params and OUT-params) instead of setXXX and getXXX methods. (to enhance performance and avoid the un-needed copy operations)

The problem is I couldn't find any examples, explanations or anything (which looks very odd to me).

So:

• Does anyone have any experience with this function?
• Any known drawbacks?
• Any code-examples?
• And: can anyone explain the "ub2 *length" mandatory parameter? (I set it to '0', and everything appears to work fine - but I'm sure that it is NOT OK :( )

Any response would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
