well, you need the connection object, obviously :) – Bozho Feb 21 '12 at 09:30
`setBytes()` returns number of bytes written. Should we write it inside loop for partial write? or single line of code will suffice? I have a 50KB `byte[]` all in memory which I want to save. – Majid Azimi Sep 16 '12 at 11:16

You may try this one, if you are using hibernate.. Possibly the easiest way! :)

Blob blob = Hibernate.createBlob(bytes);

this is deprecated. See http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/3.5/api/org/hibernate/Hibernate.html#createBlob(java.io.InputStream) – Adriano Oct 03 '12 at 12:59
