Class MonetBlob

java.lang.Object
nl.cwi.monetdb.jdbc.MonetBlob
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<MonetBlob>, Blob

public final class MonetBlob
extends Object
implements Blob, Serializable, Comparable<MonetBlob>
The MonetBlob class implements the Blob interface. Because MonetDB/SQL currently has no support for streams, this class is a shallow wrapper of a byte[]. It is more or less supplied to enable an application that depends on it to run. It may be obvious that it is a real resource expensive workaround that contradicts the benefits for a Blob: avoidance of huge resource consumption. Use of this class is highly discouraged.

    • getBuffer

      public byte[] getBuffer()
    • free

      public void free() throws SQLException
      This method frees the Blob object and releases the resources that it holds. The object is invalid once the free method is called. After free has been called, any attempt to invoke a method other than free will result in a SQLException being thrown. If free is called multiple times, the subsequent calls to free are treated as a no-op.
      Specified by:
      free in interface Blob
      Throws:
      SQLException - if an error occurs releasing the Blob's resources
    • getBinaryStream

      public InputStream getBinaryStream() throws SQLException

      Specified by:
      getBinaryStream in interface Blob
      Returns:
      a stream containing the BLOB data
      Throws:
      SQLException - if there is an error accessing the BLOB value
    • getBinaryStream

      public InputStream getBinaryStream​(long pos, long length) throws SQLException
      Returns an InputStream object that contains a partial Blob value, starting with the byte specified by pos, which is length bytes in length.
      Specified by:
      getBinaryStream in interface Blob
      Parameters:
      pos - the offset to the first byte of the partial value to be retrieved. The first byte in the Blob is at position 1
      length - the length in bytes of the partial value to be retrieved
      Returns:
      InputStream through which the partial Blob value can be read.
      Throws:
      SQLException - if pos is less than 1 or if pos is greater than the number of bytes in the Blob or if pos + length is greater than the number of bytes in the Blob
    • getBytes

      public byte[] getBytes​(long pos, int length) throws SQLException

      Parameters:
      pos - the ordinal position of the first byte in the BLOB value to be extracted; the first byte is at position 1.
      length - the number of consecutive bytes to be copied
      Returns:
      a byte array containing up to length consecutive bytes from the BLOB value designated by this Blob object, starting with the byte at position pos.
      Throws:
      SQLException - if there is an error accessing the BLOB value
    • length

      public long length() throws SQLException

    • position

      public long position​(Blob pattern, long start) throws SQLException
