Transfering image in clipboard to the Oracle DB??????????

Question

Hi,
Below is the code I'm using to get the image from the clipboard and display it. Basically I want to also write this image to the Oracle Database.
Can anyone please advise me on the conversion of this image into byte and then how to transfer it to DB????
Sample code will be a great help!!!!!!
public static Image getClipboard() {
Transferable t = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard().getContents(null);
try {
if (t != null && t.isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor.imageFlavor)) {
Image text = (Image)t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.imageFlavor);
return text;
} catch (UnsupportedFlavorException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
return null;
void button1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
jLabel1.setIcon(new ImageIcon(this.getClipboard()));
Many Thanks!

But quality is a real point here.
So you should request a slightly different feature: drag an image thumbnail from LR to Word, which in the background executes the commands
1. Render file as somewhere specified (e.g. In a dedicated export preset for application transfer).
2. Insert the resulting file into Word
3. Ditch the file use for transmission.
4. Update history of the file with this export. - maybe yiu would not be interested in this last point, but it would fit LR logic.
The correct place to request features and let oters vote on them is another forum
