Sorry for not being precise. There are two different issues.
1) The way the InputStream is read is clearly wrong.
This should be fixed.
2) What to do, when the size of the input stream does
not match the lenght argument of Statement.setBinaryStream()
There are two options
a) Throw a exception
b) Silently send all bytes, that are available.

I don't really understand what the length argument is good for
and think, that this is a design flaw made by Sun. I would prefer
a), but I am not sure here.
