[Fwd: [Fwd: Re: solved: fastpath error?]]

Micheal,

Are you still having problems here? If so could you explain what
problems you still have? It wasn't clear when I reread this message
what you had solved and what was still a problem.

thanks,
--Barry

i use the stable version 7.2 and the development version i downloaded
from the server:

-rw-r--r-- 1 mdt mdt 96179 16. Apr 23:55 devpgjdbc2.jar

in my application png-images will be filled into a database. this is
the create-statement i use for the table:

CREATE TABLE MD_DOCUMENT ( MD_DESCRIPTION CHARACTER VARYING(300),
MD_ENTRYDATE TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(), MD_MIMETYPE CHARACTER
VARYING(300), MD_DATA OID, MD_OID BIGINT NOT NULL)
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX MD_IDOCUMENT ON MD_DOCUMENT(MD_OID)

using the first methode, i get the error (jdbc-log enabled, btw why
doesn't the log provide the version?):

DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/sally")
trying
driver[className=org.postgresql.Driver,org(dot)postgresql(dot)Driver(at)63bfb6]
postgresql: PASSWORD
getConnection returning
driver[className=org.postgresql.Driver,org(dot)postgresql(dot)Driver(at)63bfb6]
Traceback (innermost last):

using the secound methode i get more or less the same error:

DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/sally")
trying
driver[className=org.postgresql.Driver,org(dot)postgresql(dot)Driver(at)4cc621]
postgresql: PASSWORD
getConnection returning
driver[className=org.postgresql.Driver,org(dot)postgresql(dot)Driver(at)4cc621]
Traceback (innermost last):

java.sql.SQLException: ERROR: oidin: error in

\000IDATx\332\354]wx\024\305\

both methode work fine with other jdbc drivers. finally i use the
postgres proprietary methode with the large object manager. this works
fine for a while but gets the error:

NOTICE: current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end of
transaction block

SQLWarning: reason(NOTICE: current transaction is aborted, queries
ignored until end of transaction block

okay, i read this. it says that since 7.2 blob and bytea are different
in the way the data is stored. with a table created with type bytea the
jdbc-konform methode work fine. also the FastPath-error didn't show up.

the documentation at http://www.j-elite.com/pgprimer sayes that
setBytes/setBinaryStream can only be used with bytea while setBlob has
to be used with oid. so that ist the cause for my first error. but the
second is still not solved as far i understand.

the samplecode provided uses postgresql methodes to create a blob as i
did. what would be the jdbc-konform way to create a Blob-object?

best regards
