how to insert byte[] into mysql database

[Moiez Gohar]

i want to store byte[] array in the first column (length of this byte array is always 16) and a BigInteger value (<10^78) in the second column. i used this code to create the table:

p=con.prepareStatement("CREATE TABLE AES (encaes varbinary(16), rsaenc varchar(80))");
p.executeUpdate();

the table gets created successfully.

i have used this code to insert a row in this table :

byte[] a={-12,3,4,5,6,7,7,7,34,-48,24,-89,-122,-123,56,75};
ByteArrayInputStream bin=new ByteArrayInputStream(a);
BigDecimal b=new java.util.Scanner(System.in).nextBigDecimal();
query="insert into AES(?,?)";
p=con.prepareStatement(query);
p.setBinaryStream(1,bin,bin.available());
p.setBigDecimal(2,b);
p.executeUpdate();

i get the following error on executing the insert query:
Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '_binary'Ç♥♦♣♠\"╨↑ºåà8K',1)' at line 1

i am using Connector/J JDBC on MySQL5.0 database..
please tell me why am i getting this error, and what should i do to remove this error, and achieve my objective of storing a byte[] array in the first field and a BigInteger value in the second field.
please guide me.
also, what are the corresponding SQL queries for inserting a byte[] array and a BigInteger?? what datatypes should i use??
please help me.
