Getting java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01465: invalid hex number

[Mahi Rao]

Please help me, i am getting this error when i am converting String in to byte[] and inserting in to database of column type BLOB.
My code is like this,
String name = "some text";
byte[] byte = name.getBytes();
System.out.println(byte); \\ here i am getting like this [B@63e563

So, whenever i am trying to insert it into db column of type BLOB i am getting the following error

ORA-01465: invalid hex number
; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01465: invalid hex number

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01465: invalid hex number

Mahi Rao,
Welcome to JavaRanch.

The official explanation by oracle is

ORA-01465: invalid hex number
Cause: In an UPDATE statement following a SELECT FOR UPDATE, part of the ROWID contains invalid characters. ROWID must be expressed in the proper and expected format for ROWID and within quotes.
Action: Enter the ROWID just as it was returned in the SELECT FOR UPDATE.

Seems, you got some problem with the id you are using.

Also, if it doesn't work try inserting using a prepared statement. In the prepared statement set the id and blobfile. This will disallow any discrepancy in id field.

Hope that helps

Anubhav,
Can you send me any example piece of code?

[Anubhav Anand]

An example can be like :

PreparedStatement prepStmt = myCon.prepareStatement("insert into myTable(id,blob) values(?,?)");
prepStmt.setString(1, nId);
prepStmt.setBytes(2, myByteArray);
prepStmt.executeUpdate();
