Re: [INTERFACES] JDBC - large objects

Update. This particular problem is resolved. Here what it was:

The failing code as per my original posting went something like this:
PreparedStatement statement = conn.prepareStatement("...");    :        ://  add values to the prepared statement    :
     :conn.setAutoCommit(false);statement.executeUpdate("...");conn.commit();
 

When I changed it to go something like this:
conn.setAutoCommit(false);PreparedStatement statement = conn.prepareStatement("...");    :        ://  add values to
theprepared statement    :        :statement.executeUpdate("...");conn.commit();
 

The "ERROR:  lo_write: invalid large obj descriptor (0)" problem went away.

To summarize, autocommit needs to be turned off prior to statement creation.
(at least for prepared statements).
