Re: [Fwd: Re: Problems with truncated BLOB]

Mihael,

I have been able to reproduce your problem with the 7.1 drivers, but not
with the 7.2 drivers. It appears that this is bug is already fixed in
current sources.

Note however that the functionality around get/setBinaryStream() has
changed in 7.2. In 7.2 the default behavior is that binary data is
assumed to be in a column of type bytea. So you would create a table
as: create table blobs (filename text, data bytea) instead of using the
OID datatype as in 7.1 (create table blobs (filename text, data OID)).
For backward compatibility you can revert the driver back to the old
behavior of using LargeObjects (i.e. OIDs) by passing the compatible=7.1
parameter to the connection. (This can be done by addint
'?compatible=7.1' to the end of the jdbc connection url.

Attached are modified versions of the test case you sent that work for
me using the 7.2 drivers (but do show the bug using the 7.1 drivers).
The first (BlobTest.java) uses the new functionality and requires that
the table 'blobs' have a column named 'data' of type 'bytea'. The
second (BlobTest2.java) uses the backward compatible mode and requires
that the table 'blobs2' have a column named 'data' of type 'oid'.

thanks,
--Barry
