JDBC Blob Prob

[Arthur Chan]

Hi.
I use JDBC to retrieve an Oracle BLOB of either gif or jpg or tif
Some of the BLOBs are fairly big e.g. 40+KBytes.
However most are smaller, around 10+KBytes.
I found that I can retrieve and display the "big" blobs or write it to a file in a 
temp dir, but I cannot display the smaller blobs.
When I try writing the small blobs to a temp dir, the file handle will be created, but 
the file length is zero !
Can anyone help ???
Any hints, tips, suggestions ???
