setClob(String parameterName, Reader reader, long length)

Syntax:

void setClob(String parameterName,
             Reader reader,
             long length)
             throws SQLException

Description:

Sets the designated parameter to a Reader object. The reader must contain the number of characters specified by length otherwise a SQLException will be generated when the PreparedStatement is executed. This method differs from the setCharacterStream (String, Reader, long) method because it informs the driver that the parameter value should be sent to the server as a CLOB. When the setCharacterStream method is used, the driver may have to do extra work to determine whether the parameter data should be sent to the server as a LONGVARCHAR or a CLOB.

Parameters:

parameterName

the name of the parameter

reader

An object that contains the data to set the parameter value to.

length

the number of characters in the parameter data.

Throws:

SQLException - if a database access error occurs, parameterName is not a valid parameter name, length is less than 0, or the prepared statement has been closed
