Getting the contents of a LONG RAW column

Question

Hi, I'm using Oracle 8.1.7 with JDK 1.4.0, and I've got a dilemma. I have a table that has several columns, one column is a LONG RAW, the rest are just NUMBER or VARCHAR2. I need to transer the contents of particular rows to another table with the same structure. I've got a query the gets the correct rows, and I create and use a ResultSet to getInt(), getString(), and set the parameters of a PreparedStatement. Here's my problem, when I try to do a getBytes() on the LONG RAW column, it says "Stream already closed."
I was able to get around this in the past by just doing another query where the only column I selected was the LONG RAW column. Then it would let me do the getBytes(). Unfortunately, besides being inefficient, it is not possible to have 2 queries any longer. I was reading a little about this in the documentation, but I couldn't get a very good feel for it. Is there a way I can do one query and select all the rows, and still be able to pull out that data? Is there anything I'm missing? It seems like it's harder than it should be. Any advice? Thanks!

Answer 1

OK, I may have spoken too soon. I still seem to have the problem. Here's a chunk of my code, am I missing something dumb? Thank you...
resultSet1 = query1.getResultSet();
insert = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT....?,?,?)");
while (resultSet1.next())
insert.setBytes(23,resultSet1.getBytes("progtxt"));
insert.setInt(1, version);
insert.executeUpdate();
}
