I went back in the old history of the Cloudscape code and it seems that
getCharacterStream was always supported in embedded mode, though
possibly it did not work in JDK 1.1. Thus I think the NOT SUPPORTED in
the docs is just a result of a miscommunication.

Done.

No, we use java.sql.Statement.setCharacterStream() instead.

We are actually using it in embedded mode.

It seems to me a documentation bug.  It would be great if you could file 
a doc bug for it in jira.  Thanks.


Derby supports  java.sql.Clob.getCharacterStream(). 
Derby in embedded mode does not yet support 
java.sql.Clob.setCharacterStream(long pos) though.

My guess is that it is not supported for embedded.

Nothing sinister, just documentation not in sync with the code.

We are always looking for folks to help out!
