Is my code right about convert file into input stream?

Question

InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
Parser ps = new Parser(file);
//create xml document
TXDocument doc = ps.readStream(is);
I am using j2sdk1.4 and IBM XML for java Parser v2.0
Thanks a lot

1 - JDBC is the wrong way to extract this data. It's like "What's the fastest way
to copy the Oxford English Dictionary using tweets?" I would research the
DBMS's bulk extract functionality.
2 - Are you dead-set absolutely sure you need to do this at all? What can you
do with the data all in one flat file that you cannot do with SQL access to the
data?
3 - If you want to convert all the columns into one (not that it's a huge
win or anything), you can use the DBMS's conversion and concatenation
functionality in your SQL. So instead of
"select col1, col2, col3, .... from MyBigTable"
do (change this to whatever conversion function syntax and concat syntax your DBMS needs)
"select convert(col1, varchar) concat ' ' concat convert(col2, varchar) concat ' ' concat convert(col3, varchar) ... from MyBigTable"
so the result set you get is a single column.
