Thread: Problem with JDBC and Large Objects
I'm using the latest JDBC driver (8.1-407) with PostgreSQL 8.1.3 (on Windows) and PostgreSQL 8.1.4 (on Debian). I've searchedthe archives, and found several applicable thread that were never responded to or apparently resolved:<br /><ul><li><aclass="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2001-04/msg00216.php">http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2001-04/msg00216.php</a><li><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mail-archive.objectweb.org/dods/2001-11/msg00007.html">http://mail-archive.objectweb.org/dods/2001-11/msg00007.html</a></ul> I'musing JDBC to store (binary) files in a database, and have tried storing the content in a BYTEA column and using the LargeObject API and storing a OID column in my table. I am able to upload various files into the database, but when I downloadthem the 0xFF characters in the uploaded files have all been stripped. I've looked for a configuration setting,but don't see anything of use. (The database or client character encodings should not apply to binary data.)<br/><br /> Any suggestions? Is this a bug? (If it is a bug, it seems hard to believe that nobody has run acrossthis.)<br /><br /> Thanks in advance!<br /><br /> Randall<br /><br /><br />

So.. which one did you see the problem with, LOB or bytea? > I am able to upload various files > into the database, but when I download them the 0xFF characters in the > uploaded files have all been stripped.
