The representation (mapping) in
the JavaTM programming
language of an SQL
BLOB
value. An SQL BLOB
is a built-in type
that stores a Binary Large Object as a column value in a row of
a database table. By default drivers implement Blob
using
an SQL locator(BLOB)
, which means that a
Blob
object contains a logical pointer to the
SQL BLOB
data rather than the data itself.
A Blob
object is valid for the duration of the
transaction in which is was created.
Methods in the interfaces ResultSet
,
CallableStatement
, and PreparedStatement
, such as
getBlob
and setBlob
allow a programmer to
access an SQL BLOB
value.
The Blob
interface provides methods for getting the
length of an SQL BLOB
(Binary Large Object) value,
for materializing a BLOB
value on the client, and for
determining the position of a pattern of bytes within a
BLOB
value. In addition, this interface has methods for updating
a BLOB
value.
Method Summary | |
InputStream |
getBinaryStream()
Retrieves the BLOB value designated by this
Blob instance as a stream. |
byte[] |
getBytes(long pos,
int length)
Retrieves all or part of the BLOB
value that this Blob object represents, as an array of
bytes. |
long |
length()
Returns the number of bytes in the BLOB value
designated by this Blob object. |
long |
position(Blob pattern,
long start)
Retrieves the byte position in the BLOB value
designated by this Blob object at which
pattern begins. |
long |
position(byte[] pattern,
long start)
Retrieves the byte position at which the specified byte array pattern begins within the BLOB
value that this Blob object represents. |
OutputStream |
setBinaryStream(long pos)
Retrieves a stream that can be used to write to the BLOB
value that this Blob object represents. |
int |
setBytes(long pos,
byte[] bytes)
Writes the given array of bytes to the BLOB value that
this Blob object represents, starting at position
pos , and returns the number of bytes written. |
int |
setBytes(long pos,
byte[] bytes,
int offset,
int len)
Writes all or part of the given byte array to the
BLOB value that this Blob object represents
and returns the number of bytes written. |
void |
truncate(long len)
Truncates the BLOB value that this Blob
object represents to be len bytes in length. |
