I'm using CMP entity beans, which means writing all that custom sql to handle BLOBs isn't possible.
I switched to using MySQL and 10 minutes later everything worked perfectly. All i had to do was point my ejbs at MySQL and set the types for MySQLs type. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Bruce Lynes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 7:03 PM To: JBoss Users Subject: Re: [JBoss-user] Store large pdfs with JBoss On Saturday 04 January 2003 04:48, Pete Beck wrote: > I agree with Sun 100% on this.

You just need to use a combination of the JDBC LOB support with the DBMS_LOB package. We use a combination of stored procedures that manipulate the LOB using DBMS_LOB.getlength(), DBMS_LOB.read(), DBMS_LOB.write(), and DBMS_LOB.copy(), in combination with the getBlob(), select, and select for update operations. Postgres is pretty much the same, but supports most of these operations directly from the JDBC driver, instead of through a database package for LOB operations. The only difference I can see from a usability standpoint, is Postgres lacks a copy operation. You would have to write a stored procedure in C I would imagine, to obtain this goal in Postgres. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user This transmission contains information solely for intended recipient and may be privileged, confidential and/or otherwise protect from disclosure.
