The ResultSet interface provides the method named getBlob() to retrieve blob datatype from a table in the database. In addition to this, it also provides a method named getBinaryStream()Like getBlob() 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 getBlob() method (which returns a Blob object) this method returns an InputStream object which holds the contents of the blob datatype in the form of un-interpreted bytes.ExampleAssume we have created a table named MyTable in ...
