Hello , Barnet Wagman replied me , to use setBinaryStream method of Blob interface. But How can I instantiate Blob object , as it is interface and I dont know it's implemetation ? How I can get blob object to call setBinaryStream. that is : ps.setBinaryStream(psParamIndex, ins, b.length); from where you got this ps and what is the value of psParamIndex. thank you -- mithun Barnet Wagman wrote: I always serialize the object to a byte[] and then use setBinaryStream(), e.g. byte[] b = ... // serialize arbitrary object to byte[] ByteArrayInputStream ins = new ByteArrayInputStream(b); ps.setBinaryStream(psParamIndex, ins, b.length); I've found this to be reliable. FYI Problems with using setObject () with blobs is not specific to Derby. I've had to use the above with MySQL and Oracle as well. bw Suavi Ali Demir wrote: How about you first serialize your object into abyte[] and then do a setBytes() ? And then to read itback you can do getBytes() and then deserialize fromthat byte[]. Would that work?Regards,Ali --- Mithun Ruikar wrote: Hello there , I have problem while setting Blob value to tablecreated in derby.I had created : a datasource by parametercreate=true.and then created new table in it with one columnwith Datatype as Blob.
