Example to store file in Oracle database:

The setCharacterStream() method of PreparedStatement is used to set character information into the parameterIndex.

Syntax:

1) public void setBinaryStream(int paramIndex,InputStream stream)throws SQLException

2) public void setBinaryStream(int paramIndex,InputStream stream,long length)throws SQLException

For storing file into the database, CLOB (Character Large Object) datatype is used in the table. For example:

Example

snippet

CREATE TABLE  "FILETABLE" 
   (	"ID" NUMBER, 
	"NAME" CLOB
   )
