The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 6241 Logged by: Stefan Franke Email address: ste...@franke.ms PostgreSQL version: 9.1 Operating system: any Description: JDBC: blob doesnot work with bytea Details:
To persist a blob you can also use bytea. Unfortunately the JDBC driver does not support this. Especially if you can't control the way how the column is accessed, e.g. using JPA @Lob @Column(name = "DATA") // using bytea private byte[] data; it fails with distinct JPA implementations (e.g. Hibernate) since the JPA layer tries to access it as blob. My workaround is to patch the class org.postgresql.jdbc4.Jdbc4ResultSet: public java.sql.Blob getBlob(int i) throws SQLException { checkResultSet(i); if (wasNullFlag) return null; try { return new Jdbc4Blob(connection, getLong(i)); } catch (PSQLException ex) { // bytea use a dummy Blob return new SerialBlob(getBytes(i)); } } -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
