OCI-Lob->load — Returns large object's contents

### Description

OCI-Lob
string load ( void )

Returns large object's contents. As script execution is terminated when the memory_limit is reached, ensure that the LOB does not exceed this limit. In most cases it's recommended to use OCI-Lob->read instead.
