Re: How to set value to Blob field of derby-made-table.

[Barnet Wagman]

I always serialize the object to a byte[]  and then use setBinaryStream(), e.g. byte[] b = ... // serialize arbitrary object to byte[] ByteArrayInputStream ins = new ByteArrayInputStream(b); ps.setBinaryStream(psParamIndex, ins, b.length); I've found this to be reliable. FYI Problems with using setObject () with blobs is not specific to Derby.  I've had to use the above with MySQL and Oracle as well. bw Suavi Ali Demir wrote: How about you first serialize your object into a byte[] and then do a setBytes() ? And then to read it back you can do getBytes() and then deserialize from that byte[]. Would that work?

I had created : a datasource by parameter create=true. and then created new table in it with one column with Datatype as Blob. But when I tried to setObject value to this column ( by serializable object awt.color) It gave derby exception : trying to get Blob value from Object type. setBlob also didnt work with error saying : this method is undefined for (int , Object) and if i typecast it to (int , (Blob) Object) : I got classcastexception. please tell me how to set this value to blob field -- mithun --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
