Paulo,
There are a couple of problems with what you are suggesting here. First
there is no way to know the length of an input stream. The available()
method isn't supposed to return the entire length of the data stream but
only what is currently available. Thus using the result of available()
as what you pass in to setBinaryStream() will not work. Which means it
isn't possible to call setBinaryStream from setObject since you don't
know the length ahead of time.
The second problem is that the JDBC spec explicitly states the following:
Section 14.2 (last paragraph):
Note that it is not possible to send or receive Java input streams
using the getObject or setObject methods. You must explicitly use
PreparedStatement.setXXXStream or Result- Set.getXXXStream to transfer a
value as a stream.
thanks,
--Barry
