Interface Blob

All Known Implementing Classes:
SerialBlob sample code for javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialBlob definition code for javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialBlob 
public interface Blob

The representation (mapping) in the JavaTM programming language of an SQL BLOB value. An SQL BLOB is a built-in type that stores a Binary Large Object as a column value in a row of a database table. By default drivers implement Blob using an SQL locator(BLOB), which means that a Blob object contains a logical pointer to the SQL BLOB data rather than the data itself. A Blob object is valid for the duration of the transaction in which is was created.

Methods in the interfaces ResultSet sample code for java.sql.ResultSet definition code for java.sql.ResultSet , CallableStatement sample code for java.sql.CallableStatement definition code for java.sql.CallableStatement , and PreparedStatement sample code for java.sql.PreparedStatement definition code for java.sql.PreparedStatement , such as getBlob and setBlob allow a programmer to access an SQL BLOB value. The Blob interface provides methods for getting the length of an SQL BLOB (Binary Large Object) value, for materializing a BLOB value on the client, and for determining the position of a pattern of bytes within a BLOB value. In addition, this interface has methods for updating a BLOB value.
