Class BlobImpl

java.lang.Object

org.datanucleus.store.rdbms.mapping.column.BlobImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

Blob

public class BlobImpl
extends Object
implements Blob

The representation (mapping) in the Java 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. The driver implements 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.

getBinaryStream

public InputStream getBinaryStream(long pos,
                                   long length)
                            throws SQLException

Returns an InputStream object that contains a partial Blob value, starting with the byte specified by pos, which is length bytes in length.
