How do you read the data into the bytes[] array?
I usually use setBinaryStream() instead of setBytes(), that saves me from "manually" reading the file content into an
array:
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
sqlq ="UPDATE table set image= ? where id=?";
ps = .....prepareStatement(sqlq);
ps.setBinarayStream(1, in, (int)file.length());
ps.setString(2,id);
