"Invalid Packet length" Error

[Balaji Natarajan]

I am getting this exception while executing this statement
in.read(buffer,0,length);
where "in" is "InputStream"
java.io.IOException: Io exception: Invalid Packet Lenght
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.SQLToIOException(DBError.java:716)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleBlobInputStream.needBytes(OracleBlobInputStr
eam.java:249)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleBufferedStream.read(OracleBufferedStream.jav
a:163)

What could be the reason for this. Please help me in resolving this.
Thanks
Balaji

Looks like an Oracle JDBC drivr bug or gotcha; moving to JDBC forum.
