Use case:
  MyTable (id identity, data CLOB)
  insert some bytes into the table and return the id of the record

Problem:
1. I need the generated key (identity), so I cannot use a
PreparedStatement
beause with Derby, one can only get the generated key via
Statement.execute (sql, RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);

2. Hence, as a PreparedStatement cannot be used, a Statement must be
used
Now, of course, I do not want (or even can) to form a String for an SQL
insert statement in which the CLOB is included .

3. Euh, that brings me , in order to insert an CLOB, to create a record
first, get the generated key and then update that record with the clob
data
So, in 2 phases
  first:  id = DoInsert ();
  second:  DoUpdate (id,data);
Tried this as well,
if one does:      stm.execute ("insert into MyTable")
or stm.execute ("insert into MyTable () values ()")
dont' go  :   syntax errors

So, how to insert some bytes into a table with an identity column and
have the identity value as return value ??

Any solution welcome
Thanks
