Question

I want to create a Blob object from a byte[] input to update a table using PreparedStatement#setBlob(). In J2SE 6, we have java.sql.Connection#createBlob() to get this done. Is there anything similar to this available in J2SE 1.5.0? What is the best way to update a BLOB type column with a byte[] data in J2SE 1.5.0?

Answer 1

An example, using SerialBlob:

import java.sql.Blob;
import javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialBlob;

byte[] byteArray = .....;
Blob blob = new SerialBlob(byteArray);
