This is my source code for inserting pdf file into oracle.
This code is working for only small size pdf (like 16 kb) if iam tring to insert a pdf file which is more than 2 mb.

Its giving the exception as given below.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;

public class PDFConnect
{

public static void main(String args[])
{
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@10.81.7.169:1521:PTS", "TESTPTS", "TESTPTS");
System.out.println("connection established");
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("insert into DEMOBLOB values(?)");
System.out.println("insert executed");
File photo= new File("D:/Thinkingjava.pdf");
System.out.println("image loaded ");
FileInputStream photostream= new FileInputStream(photo);
System.out.println("photo taken");
ps.setBinaryStream(1,photostream,(int)photo.length());
ps.executeUpdate();
photostream.close();

}

catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

You should look up tutorials on blobs, inserting them can be tricky.

Last I recall in some systems it requires two passes for an insert. The first insert without the blob creates the db record and makes available a pointer to the blob. Then an update is performed using that pointer. That would seem to support the error, it doesn't want to insert a blob directly, it wants the db to create one and then you to set it.
