How to convert a String to java.sql.Clob?

[qionghua yang]

Hi there,
I would like to convert a String variable to the java.sql.Clob datatype:
My code looks like this:
String streamHTML = (out.toString());
Clob outHTML = (Clob)streamHTML;
And of course, this code doesn't work. Hope you can help me.
Thanks a lot.
