Creating/constructing a java.sql.Blob and writing to Oracle with jdbc

I'm trying to understand how to create a blob from an image file to write it to a Oracle database using jdbc.
I know there'a a getBinaryStream method in java.sql.Blob to which I can write the files byte array, but how do I create an actual blob in the first place. All examples I've seen initialise the blob from an exiting Blob field in a database which I do not have filled yet
thanks

In general, you will do something like the following:
Ensure setAutoCommit is false
INSERT INTO foo (blob_column) values (empty_blob());
SELECT blob_column FROM foo FOR UPDATE;
Call getBlob() on the ResultSet
Cast it to Oracle's specific BLOB (different object)
Call getBinaryOutputStream() on the BLOB
Pipe your data
Commit (very importatnt as FOR UPDATE will lock that row)- Saish

  • Get canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg') and convert base64 encoding to java.sql.Blob

    Convert canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg') to java.sql.Blob.
    I am using oracle adf so I am able to action a backing bean from javascript and pass in parameters as a map. I pass in the canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg') which I then try to decode in my bean. Using BASE64Decoder and the converting the bytearray to a file I can see the image is corrupted as I can't open the file thus converting the bytearray to blob is also a waste.
    Has anyone any ideas on base64 encoding from canvas.toDataURL to file or Blob?

    Use Case:
    A jsf page that enables a user to take photos using the HTML5 canvas feature - interact with webcam -, take photos and upload to profile
    1. I have created the jsf page with the javascript below; this pops up as a dialog and works okay and onclick an upload image, triggers the snapImage javascript function below and sends the imgURL parameter to the serverside managedbean
    <!-- java script-->
    function snapImage(event){
                    var canvas = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('canvas');
                    AdfCustomEvent.queue(event.getSource(),"getCamImage",{imgURL:canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg'),true);
                    event.cancel();
    <!-- bean -->
    public void getCamImage(ClientEvent ce){
    String url=(String)ce.getAttributes().get("imgURL");
    decodeBase64URLToBlob(url);
    private BlobDomain decodeBaseB4URLToBlob(String url64){
                    BASE64Decoder de=new BASE64Decoder();
                    byte[] bytes=de.decode(url64);
                    File file=new File("abc.jpg");
                    InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
                    BufferedImage bImageFromConvert = ImageIO.read(in);
                    in.close();
                    ImageIO.write(bImageFromConvert, "jpg", file);
                    return createBlobDomainFromFile(file);
    ----problem---
    Accessing the generated jpeg file shows the image is corrupted, probably missing bytes or encode/decoder issues.and the blob image after uploading to database is saved as a binary stream which ondownload doesnt render as an image or anything i know of.
    Is there anyways of achieving the conversion without errors?

  • Datasource, POJO and java.sql.Blob

    Hello,
    is "java.sql.Blob" a valid type for a POJO datasource ?
    I declared one but I just dit not succeed in rendering its jpg picture.
    My java code is quite simple :
    ReportClientDocument reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument ();
    reportClientDocument.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
    reportClientDocument.open (REPORT_NAME, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
    // lBlob is a class which implements java.sql.Blob interface
    LPOJOData [] dataP = {new LPOJOData(new lBlob("Picture.jpg"))};
    POJOResultSetFactory factory = new POJOResultSetFactory(LPOJOData.class);
    POJOResultSet resultSet = factory.createResultSet(dataP);
    reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(resultSet, "", "");
    and my POJO class :
    public class LPOJOData {          
              private java.sql.Blob zimage;
              public LPOJOData(java.sql.Blob zp){
                   this.zimage = zp;
              public java.sql.Blob getzimage(){
                   return zimage;
    The field "zimage" on the report is designed through a "field definition only" database, zimage is defined as a Blob field.
    Any clues ?
    Regards,
    Serge

    I have just found a list of the data types supported by a POJO Class :
    # boolean
    # byte
    # char
    # double
    # float
    # int
    # short
    # java.lang.Boolean
    # java.lang.Byte
    # java.lang.Double
    # java.lang.Float
    # java.lang.Integer
    # java.lang.Short
    # java.lang.String
    # java.SQL.Date
    # java.SQL.Time
    Well, java.SQL.Blob is not one of them.
    Is java.SQL_Blob will be a valid POJO type in the future ?
    Is there another way than POJO to feed a report from an in-memory datasource ?

  • Java.sql.Blob method setBinaryStream?

    Hi,
    I've been trying to use the java.sql.Blob methods instead of the "Oracle Extensions" so that people w/o Oracle (using MySQL etc.) can still use my code.
    Problem: trying to get the OutputStream to write to the Blob. As of JDK1.4, java.sql.Blob has a method to do this, setBinaryStream. Unfortunately, calling this in Oracle JDBC (tried it in both thin and OCI version) throws an SQLException (Unsupported feature).
    Sample code:
    //Assume we already have a connection to the database, over either OCI or thin.
    //Assume a Statement stmt created from the connection.
    //Assume a table BlobTable with 2 fields : id (number) and data (blob).
    public void uploadBlob(byte [] theBytes){
         try{
         stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO BlobTable (id, data) VALUES (1,empty_blob())");
         ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT data FROM BlobTable WHERE id=1 FOR UPDATE");
         if (rs.next()){
    java.sql.Blob blob=rs.getBlob(1);
         OutputStream out=blob.setBinaryStream(0);
         //Next line never printed - error thrown.
         System.out.println("Got Stream");
         catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
    //End code
    Am I doing something wrong? Or is there simply no way to write to a Blob without using the extensions?
    None of the docs (examples, guides, etc) make any mention of this, although the JDBC dev guide does mention that the similar method in PreparedStmt only works over OCI.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hi lancea,
    It's been a while since this thread was active, but I have a related question.
    Is there a comprehensive list of changes between JDBC 3 and JDBC 4 that makes application not work any more, such as this setBinaryStream issue or the CallableStatement/Named parameters issue that we stumbled upon. We would like to address these issues proactively and not find out about them in production, since we're upgrading from jdk1.4 to jdk6. Oracle has provided us with their changes regarding database versions, but have been less forthcoming with JDBC spec version changes.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Create Oracle BLOB and Pass to Oracle Stored Procedure

    Hi All,
    I am using Oracle 10g and am dealing with a requirement where I have to upload a file to Oracle Portal from the client's local machine using a JSP.
    I am planning to convert the text file to a BLOB and pass it to an Oracle stored procedure which does the rest.
    I am unable to create a BLOB object. Can anybody help me with this please.
    Is there a better alternative to do it?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Problem with java.sql.Clob and oracle.sql.CLOB

    Hi,
    I am using oracle9i and SAP web application server. I am getClob method and storing that in java.sql.Clob and using the getClass().getName() I am getting the class name as oracle.sql.CLOB. But when I am trying to cast this to oracle.sql.CLOB i am getting ClassCastException. The code is given below
    java.sql.Clob lOracleClob = lResultSet.getClob(lColIndex + 1);
    lPrintWriter = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter (((oracle.sql.CLOB) lOracleClob).getCharacterOutputStream()));
    lResourceStatus = true;
    can anybody please tell me the what is the problem with this and solution.
    thanks,
    Ashok.

    Hi Ashok
    You can get a "ClassCastException" when the JVM doesn't have access to the specific class (in your case, "oracle.sql.CLOB").
    Just check your classpath and see if you are referring to the correct jar files.

  • Differ java.sql.* and javax.sql.*

    Dear Friends,
    What is differenece between java.sql.* and javax.sql.*?.
    Advance in thanks

    java.sql is the package you can use for all basic kinds of database access. If you are not developing a full scale enterprise application, java.sql package is all that you need.
    javax.sql is extension to the basic java.sql package. It includes classes that allow connection pooling and rowsets, among others.
    If you are just getting started with JDBC, you just need to get familiar with java.sql and leave the wonders of javax.sql until later.

    COULD ANYONE LET ME KNOW THE WORK AROUND OTHER THAN THE ABOVE SOLUTION LIKE ADDING THE OWNER SCHEMA NAME WITH THE USER DEFINED COLLECTION TYPE.

    There couold be two reasons:
    1) it depends how u have defined type. if ISSUESECTION_LIST is defined in type SCHEMA_OWNER, then you have to call this ways only 'SCHEMA_OWNER_NAME.ISSUESECTION_LIST'
    2) You might have defined using schema_owner_name like scott.<TYPE_NAME>. if its so, then drop it and again define type without using schema owner.
    For detail help post your type declaration.

  • Extract the data from SQL Server and Import into Oracle

    Hi,
    I would like to run a daily job that will export the table data from SQL server table (it will be only one or two table) and Import back into Oracle table (it might one or two table tables).
    Could you please guide me that how can i do this using either sql server or oracle?
    We have oracle 9.2 and sql server 2005.
    Normally i do from flat file which is generated by source destination nand i dump into oracle using sql*loader but this time I have to directly extract/export the data from MS Sql server and load into Oracle table, mostly it will reload so i might doing any massaging data during the load.
    If you show me the detail approach, it will be really appreciated.
    I have access to Sql server but i don't how to use sql server to do this or using oracle as a daily job even becuase have to schedule the job for this as it will be a daily job.
    Thanks,
    poratips

    Unless you can find an open source ODBC driver for SQL Server that runs on Solaris (and I wouldn't be overly hopeful there) Heterogeneous Services would require that you license something-- a third party ODBC driver, a new Oracle instance, or an Oracle Transparent Gateway.
    As I stated below, you could certainly use SQL Server's ETL tool, DTS. Oracle's ETL tools would require additional licensing since you're just on 9.2. You could also write a small application (Java or otherwise) that connected to both databases and transferred the data. If you're particularly enterprising, you could load the SQL Server Type 4 JDBC driver into Oracle's JVM and write a Java stored procedure that connected to the SQL Server database via JDBC, but that's a pretty convoluted approach.

  • Geting and setting date and time in oracle using jdbc

    can u send me a sample snippet which shows me how to set date and time to a column in oracle database where the column datatype is date.
    and also send me the sample code to get the date and time from the above said column
    thanks in advance

    If you want DATE with time normalized to midnight, use java.sql.Date. If you really want time, with hours/minutes/seconds/millis, use java.sql.Timestamp.
    As for the best way to interact with the database, use java.sql.PreparedStatement and its get/setDate and get/setTimestamp methods. Those will escape dates for you properly.
    Look for a JDBC tutorial on-line to see how to do this, or http://www.javaalmanac.com for the java.sql package examples.

  • Reading the Blob and writing it to an external file in an xml tree format

    Hi,
    We have a table by name clarity_response_log and content of the column(Response_file) is BLOB and we have xml file or xml content in that column. Most probably the column or table may be having more than 5 records and hence we need to read the corresponding blob content and write to an external file.

                END IF;
                UTL_FILE.NEW_LINE (l_output);
             END LOOP;
    ----------------- --- UTL_FILE.NEW_LINE(l_output);
          END IF;
       END LOOP;
       UTL_FILE.FCLOSE (l_output);
    END;The above code works well and all the records or xml contents are being written simultaneously adjacent to each other but we each records must be written to a new line or there must be a line gap or a blank line between any two records
    the code which I get is as follow all all xml data comes on a single line
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><emp><empno>7369</empno><ename>James</ename><job>Manager</job><salary>1000</salary></emp><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><emp><empno>7370</empno><ename>charles</ename><job>President</job><salary>500</salary></emp>But the code written to an external file has to be something like this.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <emp>
      <empno>7369</empno>
      <ename>James</ename>
      <job>Manager</job>
      <salary>1000</salary>
    </emp>
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <emp>
    <empno>7370</empno>
    <ename>charles</ename>
    <job>President</job>
    <salary>500</salary>
    </emp>Please advice

    What was wrong with the previous answers given on your other thread:
    Export Blob data to text file(-29285-ORA-29285: file write error)
    If there's a continuing issue, stay with the same thread, don't just ask the same question again and again, it's really Pi**es people off and causes confusion as not everyone will be familiar with what answers you've already had. You're just wasting people's time by doing that.
    As already mentioned before, convert your BLOB to a CLOB and then to XMLTYPE where it can be treated as XML and written out to file in a variety of ways including the way I showed you on the other thread.
    You really seem to be struggling to get the worst possible way to work.
