Has anyone ever heard of the Unified LOB Programming Model?
I'm reading a SQL 2005 MS Press book and it makes reference to this. But when I google the term, I'm not getting a lot of relevant hits.
Does anyone have any links that I can reference?

I beleive they are refferring to two different things.
The Unified Programming Model of course should be easy enough to find information on whether you can get any two programmers to agree to what it is may be a different story.
LOB usually referes to Line of Business Applications. I can only assume that they are speaking of the UPM as it applies to a LOB development.
I would be interested to see the context but that is my best guess.

If only I could snap my figures and have all the correct indexes apear and the buffer clean and.... Start day dream here.

The context is this:
RE: datatypes discussion
When you specific MAX, the data types can store the same size data as text, ntext, and image types (up to 2 gigabytes) but process the same way as when the store shorter strings. This technology provides a unified LOB programming model.
I'm pretty sure they're not talking about Line of Business.

Maybe they are using a bit of an odd sentence to refer to the way it is handling large objects in general and referred them to LOB instead of the more traditional BLOB. It is a bit strange for sure.

It sounds to me that they are refering to the fact that you can write code that applies both an in-row varchar and the max LOB type. As opposed to the differences with text and varchar.

Well, I've heard the term "LOB" before. Just not in this context.
It's entirely possible the author of this book (or chapter) misused terms that were never meant to go together.
