public class ImageDemo{
public static void main(String argv[]){
try{
String url="jdbc:access:/c:/test";
Class.forName("com.hxtt.sql.access.AccessDriver").newInstance();
Properties properties=new Properties();
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url,properties);
Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
stmt.execute("create database if not exists imagedatabase;");
connection.setCatalog("imagedatabase.mdb");
stmt.execute("create table if not exists imagetable (imageid int,IMAGE_DATA blob);");
File file=new File("c:/pic.jpg");
FileInputStream in=new FileInputStream(file);
PreparedStatement ps=connection.prepareStatement("insert into imagetable (imageid,IMAGE_DATA) values(?,?);");
ps.setInt(1,1234);
ps.setBinaryStream(2,in,(int)file.length());
ps.execute();
ps.close();
ResultSet rs =stmt.executeQuery("select IMAGE_DATA from imagetable where imageid=1234");
byte[] imgbytes=null;
if(rs.next()) {
imgbytes=rs.getBytes(1);
rs.close();
stmt.close();
connection.close();
if(imgbytes!=null){
JFrame fr = new JFrame();
fr.setTitle("Simple Demo for Load Image from MS Access");
Image image = fr.getToolkit().createImage(imgbytes);
fr.getContentPane().add(new PaintPanel(image));

Thread.sleep(10000);
