Interface and Class Details

Interface Blob

public abstract interface Blob
						

This interface provides the method definition for a Blob. This is the Java version of the SQL data type Blob, which maps a binary large object to a column in a relational table.

Blobs can be useful in Java when you're working with a relational table to store an entire object. A Blob in Java differs from most SQL data types in that it stores a pointer to the data, rather than the data itself, in the column. The Blob is only valid during the transaction that created it. You can access a method through getBlob() and setBlob() in ResultSet, PreparedStatement, and CallableStatement.
