Java: How to insert CLOB into oracle database

Question

I need to write an XML file content into oracle database where the column is of CLOB datatype. How will I do that?

Answer 1

For this purpose you need to make the connection result set

ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE

Connection con=null;
//initialize connection variable to connect to your database...
Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
String query="Select MYCLOB from TABLE_NAME for update";
con.setAutoCommit(false);
ResultSet resultset=stmt.executeQuery(query);


if(resultset.next()){
oracle.sql.CLOB    clobnew = ((OracleResultSet) rss).getCLOB("MYCLOB");
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(clobnew.getCharacterOutputStream() );
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new FileReader( new File("filename.xml") ) );
String  lineIn = null;
while( ( lineIn = br.readLine() ) != null )
      pw.println( lineIn );
      pw.close();
      br.close();
}

con.setAutoCommit(true);
con.commit();
}

Note: its important that you add the phrase for update at the end of the query that is written to select the row...

Follow the above code to insert the XML file
