getBlob() gives exception

[Saurabh Sawla]

Whenever i try using Blob b = resultset.getBlob("col. name");

I get an UnsupportedOperationException what might be wrong in this let me know please I am using JdbcOdbcDriver in my Java Program.

Thanx in Advance.

[Shailesh Chandra]

which driver are you using "Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle" or "Oracle ODBC driver"

The Oracle driver has support for the BLOB and CLOB data types, while the Microsoft driver doesn't.

Well Shailesh Thanks for answering but then also the problem persists do i need to use any other driver other than the JdbcOdbc Driver. If, yes can u specify any.

do i need to use any other driver other than the JdbcOdbc Driver. If, yes can u specify any.

do use jdbc thin driver of oracle,

I haven't use odbc driver that much , Oracle claims that its JDBC ODBC driver are 3% slower than native thin driver.

to use thin driver you need to put classes12.zip in you class path,you can find same in you installed oracle folder.
and below is the code for connection

 DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
 
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc :-o	 racle:thin:@hostname:1521:SERVICE_NAME", "user", "password");
       

thanks
