Thread: Jdbc4ResultSet getClob and getBlob are calling getLong internally
Server 8.4 on Ubuntu
Driver type 4 version 8.4-701
After getting 'org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Bad value for type
long' I found these two methods in Jdbc4ResultSet:
public java.sql.Clob getClob(int i) throws SQLException
{
checkResultSet(i);
if (wasNullFlag)
return null;
return new Jdbc4Clob(connection, getLong(i));
}
public java.sql.Blob getBlob(int i) throws SQLException
{
checkResultSet(i);
if (wasNullFlag)
return null;
return new Jdbc4Blob(connection, getLong(i));
}
Calling getLong here has to be wrong?

No. Large Objects are not stored directly inline, but as a pointer to
other storage. The getLong is retrieving the external storage which
Jdbc4Clob will then stream from the server on demand. You are probably
trying to call getClob on a text or varchar column and that's not going to
work. It might be nice to provide that interface, but there's no benefit
(other than compatibility) to the user. If you have text data stored
inline, then it's already been transferred over to the client side in the
ResultSet, so there's no point in using a streaming interface.

Yes, it's a TEXT column and yes I'm calling rs.getClob(columnName);
What am I suppose to call instead?
The above call produces:
... blah ...
Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Bad value for type long

getFixedString(columnIndex) method called from
AbstractJdbc2ResultSet:2019 is returning an actual column value
(String) which toLong is trying to convert to long and failing.
Thanks!
What am I missing?

Thanks. BTW, I'm converting an app from Mysql to Postgresql and this is definitely different between two servers.

In PostgreSQL a text column is not a BLOB or CLOB. Try rs.getString(columnName); For BLOB behavior, see large objects: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/largeobjects.html -Kevin
