Support for multiple SBSPACEs for LOBS (IBM Data Server Driver)

Our product uses smart CLOB and BLOB fields. Due to their size, they are split among multiple SBSPACEs.

The classic Informix Provider for ADO.NET supports multiple SBSPACEs with methods such as "conn.GetIfxClob(tableName, columnName);".

The Data Server Driver does not support this. The methods that would correlate to the Informix driver are not implemented.

I am requesting that the Data Server Driver provide some mechanism to work with multiple SBSPACEs.
