RE: WebSphere and Oracle

2003-11-25 Thread Goulet, Dick
The problem is most likely in the JDBC driver, not the database.  I've run into 
similar problems with JDBC and ODBC drivers in the past.  I've got to agree with IBM, 
upgrade the driver  all should be well.

All,

We are putting up a new Java application that is running under WebSphere.
WebSphere uses two different schema's - the one where the application tables
are all built, and another schema that contains one table (SESSIONS) that it
uses to keep track of the application.  This SESSIONS table has three RAW
columns that essentionally hold BLOB information.

The Application is connecting using the thin driver.

We are getting a java error.  According to the IBM web site:

When using the LOB columns (BLOBS and CLOBS) with Oracle 8i, you cannot use
setCharacterStream or setBinaryStream to set BLOBS and CLOBS when the size
of the LOB columns is greater than 4k.  Oracle has lifted the restriction in
the 9i R2 OCI driver (thick driver). If you have one of these error messages
or you know that your data exceeds 4k, update to Oracle 9i R2 and use the
OCI driver when connecting to Oracle server. If you cannot update to Oracle
9i R2, contact Oracle Support.

I will be contacting Oracle support, but was wondering if anyone else has
experienced this and did they find an answer to the problem.

thanks

Thanks Dick.  I agree it's not a database problem, but they try and push it
my way because it's Oracle.  I'm pushing back.
