How to save 150MB BLOB file in the database(SQL server)?

Question

Dear experts,
I have written some code to save BLOB into a MS SQLserver7.0 database as follows:
PreparedStatement ps=connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO jdbctest" + "(id, content, image) VALUES (?,?,?)");
ps.setString(1,"2");
ps.setString(2,"L11.avi");
ps.setObject(3,data);
It works for upto 12MB but for files that are as big as 150MB I always get an SQLException as follows,
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
<<no stack trace available>>" .
The SQLserver7.0 database is running on NT server 4. The client machine is SGI UNIX. I'm using i-net JDBC driver.
It seems I should break the BLOB into chunks before saving into SQLserver but I don't know how to do it.
Can someone please advise?
THANKS!
Yu

Answer 1

Could you tell me more about it? Thanks.Depends on the application.
For example for internal use you can set up a shared drive and then everyone gets a mapped read only access to it. Then you use a direct drive reference.
For external, or just wider internal distribution, you could set up a ftp server. Then the address is just an ftp address.
I believe there are other variations which can be implemented via browsers and support by the websever. For example loading a word doc via the browser.
The advantage to the above is that you don't have to push it into the database and it allows for some more flexible storage alternatives. The disadvantages are all the things you might want a database for - like concurrency checking and a single source.
