How to write UTF-8 data to an Oracle BLOB column with Java and JDBC

This example works with Oracle: ```java private Blob getBlob(Connection connection, String data) { BLOB blob = BLOB.createTemporary(connection, true, BLOB.DURATION_SESSION); try { blob.open(BLOB.MODE_READWRITE); blob.putBytes(1, data.getBytes("UTF-8")); // Consider streaming, if data size is unknown. Note that setBytes doesn't work } catch(UnsupportedEncodingException ex) { throw new RuntimeException("Unable to get a blob for '" + data + "'", ex); } catch(SQLException ex) { throw new RuntimeException("Unable to get a blob for '" + data + "'", ex); } finally { try { if(blob != null) blob.close(); } catch(Exception ex) {}; } } ``` Then use the method like this: ```java Connection connection = getConnection(); PreparedStatement statement = getPreparedStatement(yer sequel); statement.setBlob(1, getBlob(connection, )); ```
