Inserting BLOBs

I am needing to create a BLOB object to insert into a database using a PreparedStatement. However, the BLOB locator is not working.
It is printing out "myBlob is null". Any ideas?
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(myFile);
long length = myFile.length();
byte b[] = new byte[(int)length];
int bytesRead = fis.read(b);
OracleStatement stmt = (OracleStatement) con.createStatement();
OracleResultSet rs = (OracleResultSet) stmt.executeQuery ("select nameblob from test FOR UPDATE");
BLOB myBlob = (BLOB) rs.getBlob(1);
if(myBlob == null)
System.out.println("myBlob is null.");
myBlob.putBytes(0,b);
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks for the help -- that got me one step closer. Now I am getting another error:
"Invalid argument(s) in call: putBytes()"
int count = myBlob.putBytes(0,b);
When I do:
int count = myBlob.putBytes(1,b);
I get:
ORA-22920: row containing the LOB value is not locked
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 700
ORA-06512: at line 1
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Jim<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Sorry, I did not see your FOR UPDATE clause which you have already put. I think you will have to set autocommit off. It is on by default due to which it releases the lock just after acquiring it.

Inserting blob data into database

Hello everybody,
I need insert blob data into database. that data i need to get from form
can i use request.getParameter(""); for getting that file.
Plz help how to get data from form to servlet and through callablestatement i need to insert into database.
regards,
Anil

Hi,
1) first create a form with file element
first.jsp
<form action="GetData" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
<input type="file" name="datafile" size="40">
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Cancel">
</form>
GetData.java
// servlet file
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException
res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
try {
System.setProperty( "jdbc.drivers", "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" );
Class.forName( "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" );
con = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;DatabaseName=JAVATEAM;SelectMethod=cursor;User=sa;Password=urpassword" );
PreparedStatement pst = con.prepareStatement("insert into uploads(binaryfile) values(?)");
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(request.getParameter ( "datafile" ) );
byte[] b= new byte[fis.available()+1];
fis.read(b);
pst.setBytes(1,b);
pst.executeUpdate();
pst.close();
con.close();
catch(SQLException e)
out.println ( e);
catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
out.println( e );
}Here in doPost(), i create preparedstatement,
now you to create one procedure for insert
and by using callable statement you just call that procedure and pass this byte b as arguments,
now its in your hands
my idea is over.

SQLite3 and BlobsI am having trouble learning how insert blobs into SQLite

I am having trouble learning how insert blobs into SQLite for the iphone. Is there a way to insert a blob into sqlite3 from the command line? I know it was possible with sql using
INSERT INTO temponly(name , pic) values( 'velan',
load_file('e:/mysql/images/Click.gif')) ;
but I don't think load_file is supported on sqlite.
Also, I need to insert the blobs from my iphone app. I saw a C program called eatblob.c which goes through the following just to INSERT a blob into sqlite
1. read the jpeg image file into memory , doing appropriate malloc based on size
2. prepare an sqlite statement with ? values
3. bind the malloc'd memory to the ?
4. execute an sqlite step
etc. etc. etc....
This is quite a bit of work just to do an INSERT ???
The reason I'm doing this is my iphone app has a lot of tiny (20x20) images that get downloaded to the phone periodically from the server. Plus, there are a number of images that come loaded with the application. I was going to save all of these in SQLite. So, I need the command line tool to load up the initial images that come with the app, then I need code to download the images from the server and load them into the database. Of course, reading them out is necessary!
Please help if you can!? Its late..and I'm blurry eyed from googling SQLIte3 blobs...

Thank you for your quick reply Liam! You know, I checked the web forms list when I got that error message and the form isn't there. I was having trouble the other day when another of my forms kept getting deleted.
Sorry if this is a stupid question (I'm a BC newbie) but I want to be sure so I can get this project finished... The proper workflow would be to create this form myself in Web Forms then insert it into the Registration - Buy template using the modules toolbox?
Thanks to you I may get this done on time still... if my PayPal set up works

RegisterOutParameter - setBinaryStream - Problems inserting Blob - setRAW

As posted in metalink (was: "Problems inserting BLOB/InputStream with ojdbc14.jar for 10g - Data size bigger than max size for this type"):
Using setBinaryStream for large Blobs works as long as I don't register outParameters.
Query that works: "INSERT INTO blobtest (attachment_id,name,data) VALUES(blobtest_SEQ.nextval,?,?)";
Query that fails = "BEGIN INSERT INTO blobtest (attachment_id,name,data) VALUES( blobtest_SEQ.nextval,?,?) RETURN attachment_id INTO ? ; END;"
The necessary tables were created by hand:
CREATE TABLE blobtest ( NAME CHAR(255), data BLOB, attachment_id NUMBER(38))
And
CREATE SEQUENCE TBL_ATTACHMENT_SEQ
The output was: <<user: SEE
pw: QD
instantiating oracle driver
query: INSERT INTO blobtest (attachment_id,name,data) VALUES(TBL_ATTACHMENT_SEQ.nextval,?,?)
uploaded no Return Parameter blob of size: 256809

Apparently, this is partially known - with a different stacktrace though:
<<From: Oracle, Anupama Srinivasan 25-Apr-05 07:15
Can you please check on Bug:4083226?
Using the RETURNING Clause is not supported with JDBC. You could embed the statement in PL/SQL Block as in Metalink Note 124268.1 - JDBC Support for DML Returning Clause.
The Enhancement Request filed on this issue is being considered for Release 10.2
>>
And my answer to it.
Using the RETURNING Clause is not supported with JDBC.This is strange, with just "emptyblob()", it DOES work.
I guess, our work-around that hopefully is more portable than embedding a "PL/SQL Block" will be to
1) create the record with an empty blob,
2) update the blob in a second statement (now, a RETURNING statement is no longer needed)

Please HELP!!! I try to insert BLOB to Oracle

Please help, I try to insert BLOB to Oracle.
Here is my sample code. Basically what i tried to do is to to try to insert an image file to Oracle.
But it did not work. If you have a sample code that works, please give me.
Thanks,
Tom
try
out.println ("Done");
dbCon=trans.getConnection();
dbCon.setAutoCommit(false);
stmt1.execute ("update emorytest.PHYSICIANFOTO set FOTO=empty_blob() where name = 'foobar'");
stmt = dbCon.prepareCall("SELECT FOTO from emorytest.PHYSICIANFOTO where name='foobar' for update");
stmt.execute();
rset = (OracleResultSet)stmt.getResultSet();
rset.next();
BLOB bdata = rset.getBLOB("test.jpg");
os = bdata.getBinaryOutputStream();
os.write(bdata);
os.flush();
os.close();
dbCon.commit();
dbCon.close();
catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();

Well, the obvious problem is that your "getBLOB" call ought to access the field by the field name "FOTO" not by a file name. Then you need to open an FileInputStream for the image before copying it to the blob's output stream.
In my opinion BLOB and CLOB handling is jdbc is a confusing mess.

Inserting BLOBs Programmatically

Is it possible to insert BLOBs programmatically?
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/jdbc2dot0/inserting.html
has details on this, but it appears to be at odds with the "empty_blob()" mechanism used by oracle, which requires an explicit insert statement.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Although jdbc can't immediately see how the Blob/Clob needs to be implemented the database implementors should. The sequence should be as you suggest: create a new blob, write the data to it then store the OID in the database with a PreparedStatement.
Because the Blob needs to be database implementation specific new Blobs should be created from the Connection object. In the typical case writing to the Blob should write straight to the database. Copying block values from one record to another should just involve copying the OID.
As I read the Blob class description it should mean that the actual data isn't moved to or from the client unless you open a stream on it.
Looking at the postgres implementation source it's pretty crude, in fact whereas retrieving a blob works as I suggested; no reads from the database until you open the stream, when you write the blob back to the database it's creating a new OID every time. I'd assumed it would retrieve the OID from the Blob you passed to PreparedStatment.setBlob actually it creates a new OID and copies the data byte by byte (icky).
Looks, in fact, as if I can create a fake Blob with nothing but a getBinaryStream method.
setBinaryStream/setAsciiStream doesn't work properly because it seems to decide whether the field is a blob purely based on the implementation version of postgres, without regard for the field type. (I suppose you can't judge the field type in a PreparedStatement).

Error while inserting BLOB value in the database

I am trying to insert a BLOB value in the database. This action results in the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-22925: operation would exceed maximum size allowed for a LOB value
The method i am using is as follows:
public void insertBlob(Connection Con, StringBuffer Message)throws SQLException
String Query = "INSERT INTO MSGBLOCKS (MSGDB_ID, MSGBLOCKTYPE, MESSAGE) VALUES (20, 1 , ?)";
PreparedStatement PS = Con.prepareStatement(Query);
byte[] bytes = new String(Message).getBytes();
ByteArrayInputStream bi = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
PS.setBinaryStream(1, bi, bytes.length);
PS.executeUpdate();
The manifest file of ojdbc14.jar being used is: 10.1.0.5.0 and I am using jdk 1.4.
Also the message being tried to insert is of 9 Kb only.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

Did you check if the Message is having only that small 9kb of data? also check the maximum allowed size for that column in the Oracle DB, the size can be restricted to 8Kb also.

If I try insert only XMLDOCUMENT object (lines 30, 42 are commented out, 43 IS NOT) - everything is OK.
If I try to insert only BLOB object (lines 30, 42 are NOT COMMENTED OUT, line 43 is commented out) - everything is OK again.
If I try to insert them both having some values (lines 30, 43 are commented out, 42 is not commented out) - it fails right on "command.ExecuteNonQuery();" (line 54)
with the following exception:
"ORA-21500: internal error code, arguments: [%s], [%s], [%s], [%s], [%s], [%s], [%s], [%]".
Even when I nullify oraBlob before assigning it to OracleParameter value (line 30 is commented out, line 42 and 43 are not) I have the same exception.
XMLDOCUMENT and DLOB data logically are very coupled objects (in my application), so I really want to insert them simultaneously in one stored procedure in transactional way.
Is it bug of drivers, server, .net environment, or I miss something in implementation?
PS. In some articles on Oracle web and in MSDN site I found a mention about necessity of wrapping all write/update operations in a transaction, while working with temporary LOBs. I use it here, but it does not look like changing anything.

Hello,
I tested your code with the 10.1.0.4.0 ODP and 10.1.0.4.0 Client and it worked fine.
Can you please apply the 10.1.0.4.0 patches for both ODP and client to see if this resolves the issue for you.
Here is the output from the same execution of the ODP application you provided as a testcase. These rows were inserted at the same time when I executed the application and passed the data as parameters to the SP you provided.

Insert BLOB problem

Hi:
I'm using oracle 8.1.6 on SunOS 5.7.
I tried to insert a MS Word file into a blob column, but failed.
Following are what I did:
create table test
(id number primary key,
text blob
insert into test (id,text) values (1,empty_blob());
create directory filedir as '/home/mydir';
Declare
lobd BLOB;
fils BFILE;
BEGIN
fils := BFILENAME('filedir','test.doc');
SELECT text INTO lobd FROM test WHERE id = 1 FOR UPDATE;
dbms_lob.fileopen(fils, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(lobd, fils, dbms_lob.getlength(fils));
COMMIT;
dbms_lob.fileclose(fils);
END;
I got error message:
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22285: non-existent directory or file for FILEOPEN operation
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 475
ORA-06512: at line 7
The file test.doc is at that directory /home/mydir. I tried to replace
'filedir' with '/home/mydir' in the line
fils := BFILENAME('filedir','test.doc');
but still no success.
Could anyone give me some advices?
Thanks,
George

Hi Omar,
Could anyone tell me how to insert a file (say a word doc., or a PDF or a text document) into a column of a table of type BFILE or BLOB. I know that it is possible to map to the physical file on the filesystem thru logical directory creation. But, would like to know how to insert a file into the column and use it later for retireval, string searching, etc. from the queries. Is it thru SQL*Loader? Could u explain me(with example, if poss.) how to do this with the loader utility?
Pls guide me thru this.
Thanks!
Regards,
Sanjay

Insert BLOB

I have successfully uploaded a file and stored in a BLOB column and can retrieve and view it from the web, but I have a lot of documents that I need inserted for reference. I don't mind ftp'ing them to the UNIX box but I'm not sure of the PL/SQL to use to read the files from the OS and store in the database.
Any ideas?

What kind of application are you using? Forms web or c/s? Something else? Search the appropriate forum for the answer, as there are already many examples.
