              Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(

              ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("select image from images");
              int i = 0;
              while (rs.next()) {
                   InputStream in = rs.getBinaryStream(1);
                   OutputStream f = new FileOutputStream(new File("E:/mis_images/test" + i + ".png"));
                   i++;

                   while ((c = in.read()) > -1) {

              e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (SQLException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IOException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
     }
}

          The previous class DownloadImages represents how to download images by using JDBC. First, few steps are common in any of the JDBC program, those steps are loading the driver by using Class.forName() method, creating connection by using DriverManager.getConnection() method.

          The previous post InsertingImages after creating connection we used PreparedStatement for inserting images into database table. But, in this example we are using Statement to download images from table.

          After executing the query, capture result into ResultSet which is present in java.sql package. DownloadImages program rs.getBinaryStream(1) will retrieve each time a single image. By using the FileOutputStream images are getting saved into specified path.

          Currently we are saving images into '.png' format. If you want any other format like .jpg..etc of the standard images formats you can download by passing that specified extension type in File().

Multithreading in java with example

In this article we will learn what is multithreading? , what is the use of it? and What is the use of Synchronization and when to use it?  with detailed examples. At a time, two or more threads are accessing the same object is called as Multithreading  in Java .  First, we will create two threads for two objects. It is also possible to run two or more threads on a single class object. In this case, there is a possibility to get unreliable results. If the two threads are perform same task, then they need same object to be executed each time. For your better understanding, take an example of any reservations like, railway, movie ticket booking,etc. Let us think only one berth is available in a train and two passengers are asking for that berth.
