[Hibernate-devel] Using streams for binary types

[Jon L. <jon...@xe...>]

Hi,

I just checked in a change to add support for using streams when setting
binary types.  I don't know about other databases, but Oracle has a
limitation on the number of bytes you can set when you use setBytes to
update a LONG RAW column.  If you want to store more data than this limit,
then you need to use streams, otherwise you will get an Oracle exception.

I added a new hibernate property that allows you to toggle this
functionality on and off since other databases don't have this limitation.
The system property that I added is:

hibernate.use_streams_for_binary

By setting this to true, it will use streams to both get and set the binary
types.

Cheers,
Jon...
