RE: Status of full blob support in JDBC?

Stream support is done for 7.1 but not yet commited (finished debugging it
just after the last commit I did, and haven't had chance to recommit since.
Should be next few days).

Subject: [INTERFACES] Status of full blob support in JDBC?

Hello,
I'm wondering what the status of BLOB support in JDBC is.

The reason is that we're using JDBC to connect from our application
server to our database. Our application server (Orion Server, btw) uses
the standard JDBC interface for all communication with the database.
With other DBMSes than PostgreSQL this works fine, but PostgreSQL still
has a complete showstopper in that writing BLOBs with an InputStream
still isn't implemented in the JDBC driver.
Other than this single problem everything seems to work great with
PostgreSQL, so it's a real annoyance.

So, is there any hope that the JDBC driver will have this feature
anytime soon? We currently have neither the resources nor the knowledge
to modify the JDBC driver ourselves.. :(

/Anders
