Byte array to blob in java

Question

I have a database in mysql. In this I have a table which is storing image in blob format. From my Java program I want to insert a new image into the table. But When I tried to convert a byte[] to blob using

java.sql.Blob blob=null;
blob.setBytes(1, myByte );

I am getting null pointer exception.

Again tried by converting:

 Blob blob = Hibernate.createBlob(bytes);

But here also got exception wrong format.

try with the connection Blob blob = connection.createBlob(); — AurA

if you use this code:

java.sql.Blob blob=null;
blob.setBytes(1, myByte );

blob is null. You have to create a new Blob Object like:

Blob blob = new SerialBlob(myByte );

and then you can store it.

I tried the same thing as you specified ..But I am getting this Error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Image``='javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialBlob@1229be35' where `PeopleId = 'xxx' at line 1

@DRD Can you please show the code where you use the blob?

DRD Over a year ago

String imageVal = hexToString(peopleData.getImage()); byte[] image =(imageVal).getBytes(); java.sql.Blob blob=null; try { blob = new SerialBlob(image); //blob.setBytes(1, image ); } catch (SQLException e1) { } String query = "UPDATE peopleimage SET Image='" +blob + "' where `PeopleId = '"+ peopleData.getId() + "'"; try { stmt = con.createStatement(); stmt.execute(query); } catch (SQLException e) { }

@DRD use prepared statement. Here is an example how you can do this.

Again error com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Image``='javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialBlob@418ae96e' where `PeopleId = '8a8887d' at line 1
