What is the difference between the methods setBlob() and setBinaryStream() which is preferable in JDBC?
The setBlob() method is used to set value for Blob datatype in the database. It has three variants as follows:void setBlob(int parameterIndex, Blob x): Sets the given Blob value to the parameter at the specified index.void setBlob(int parameterIndex, InputStream inputStream): Sets the contents of the given input stream as a value to the parameter at the specified index.void setBlob(int parameterIndex, InputStream inputStream, long length): Sets the contents of the given input stream as a value to the parameter at the specified index.The setBinaryStream() method is used to set the contents of the given InputStream as a value for the parameter ...

To hold an image in Oracle database generally blob type is used. Therefore, make sure that you have a table created with a blob datatype as:Name Null? Type ----------------------------------------- -------- ---------------------------- NAME VARCHAR2(255) IMAGE BLOBTo insert an image in to Oracle database, follow the steps given below:Step 1: Connect to the databaseYou can connect to a database using the getConnection() method of the DriverManager classConnect to the Oracle database by passing the Oracle URL which is jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/xe (for express edition), username and password as parameters to the getConnection() method.String oracleUrl = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/xe"; Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(oracleUrl, "user_name", "password");Step 2: Create ...
Read MoreWhat is JDBC Blob data type? how to store and read data from it?
A BLOB is binary large object that can hold a variable amount of data with a maximum length of 65535 characters.These are used to store large amounts of binary data, such as images or other types of files. Fields defined as TEXT also hold large amounts of data. The difference between the two is that the sorts and comparisons on the stored data are case sensitive on BLOBs and are not case sensitive in TEXT fields. You do not specify a length with BLOB or TEXT.Storing blob in to databaseTo store Blob datatype to database, using JDBC program follow the ...

Read MoreWhat are Lob Data Types? What are the restrictions on these datatypes in JDBC?
A BLOB is binary large object that can hold a variable amount of data with a maximum length of 65535 charactersThese are used to store large amounts of binary data, such as images or other types of files.A CLOB stands for Character Large Object in general, an SQL Clob is a built-in datatype is used to store large amount of textual data. Using this datatype, you can store data up to 2, 147, 483, 647 characters.Blob and Clob data types together are known as LOB (Large Object) datatypes. Following are the restrictions on these datatypes.Cannot compare: We cannot compare CLOB ...
Read MoreWrite an JDBC example to retrieve Clob value from a table using the getCharacterStream() method?
The ResultSet interface provides the method named getClob() to retrieve clob datatype from a table in a database. In addition to this it also provides a method named getCharacterStream()Like getClob() this method also accepts an integer representing the index of the column (or, a String value representing the name of the column) and retrieves the value at the specified column. The difference is unlike the getClob() method (which returns a Clob object) this method returns an object of the Reader class.ExampleAssume we have created a table named MyData in the database with the following description.+---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type ...
Read MoreHow do I find out whether the underlying database supports batch processing?
Not all the databases support batch processing therefore before proceeding with batch updates in your application. You need to verify whether the database you are trying to communicate supports batch processing/batch updates or not.You can do so using the supportsBatchUpdates() method of the DatabaseMetaData interface.Follow the steps given below:Register the driver class using the registerDriver() method of the DriverManager class. Pass the driver class name to it, as a parameter.Connect to the database using the getConnection() method of the DriverManager class. Passing URL (String), username (String), password (String) as parameters to it.Create a DatabaseMetaData object using the getMetaData() method of ...
Read MoreHow do we insert/store a file into MySQL database using JDBC?
In general, the contents of a file are stored under Clob (TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT) datatype in MySQL database.JDBC provides support for the Clob datatype, to store the contents of a file in to a table in a database.The setCharacterStream() method of the PreparedStatement interface accepts an integer representing the index of the parameter and, a Reader object as a parameter.And sets the contents of the given reader object (file) as value to the parameter (place holder) in the specified index.Whenever you need to send very large text value you can use this method.Storing text file using JDBC:If you need to ...
Read MoreWhat is RowId object in JDBC Explain?
A RowId is a built-in type of SQL which is an address of a row in a table of a database. The RowId interface of the java.sql package maps with the SQL ROWID value.RowId values are unique for every row and they are the fastest way to access a row. You cannot use this as a primary key of a table.Retrieving RowId objectsYou can retrieve the RowId of a particular row using the getRowId() method of the ResultSet, CallableStatement, PreparedStatement interfaces.This method accepts a String value representing a column label or, an integer value representing the column index and returns ...
Read MoreWhat is Type_FORWARD_ONLY ResultSet in JDBC?
A ResultSet interface in JDBC represents the tabular data generated by SQL queries. It has a cursor which points to the current row. Initially, this cursor is positioned before the first row.You can retrieve the column value at the current row using the getter methods getInt(), getString(), getDate() etc…To move the cursor and to navigate/iterate through the ResultSet the java.sql.ResultSet interface provides various methods such as next(), Previous(), first(), last(), relative(), absolute(), beforeFirst(), afterLast() etc...Type_FORWARD_ONLY Only ResultSetIn forward only ResultSet you can move the cursor only in forward direction. By default, a ResultSet is of type forward only.
