How to insert images into database using JDBC?


How to insert images into database table by using JDBC? To know about these topic follow the below lines,

          Before going to write a JDBC program for inserting images into database table, we need to create a specific table for inserting images column datatype. For creating the database table, execute the below command in MySQL command prompt.

CREATE TABLE `images` (
`image_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`image_flag` int(11) NOT NULL,
`image` longblob NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`image_id`));

          After executing the above query in MySQL command prompt, execute the below query to know weather the above table query is created or not.

1
Show tables;

          When you have executed the above query that will show you the list of table which all exists in the current database. Current table is present in that list, then we will move to write the JDBC program to insert images. Otherwise execute the above Create table query one more time and see the tables list.

          The above IMAGES table contains the columns as image_id, image_flag, image.
  • Image_id is the primary key and not null. This is also auto increment column, means you no need to pass the value through the JDBC program for this column. 
  • Image_flag represents the integer type value, this also refers the not null column. 
  •  Inserting images will save in the image column. This is the LongBlob data type.
          Here is the JDBC program which will save the images into database table.

     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
              // Loads the MySQL Driver

                   ps.setBinaryStream(2, (InputStream) inputStream, filepath.length());

                   // Executing the prepared Statement
                   int rows = ps.executeUpdate();
                   if (rows > 0) {
                        System.out.println("Image Inserted Successfully");
                   }
              }
          } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (SQLException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
     }
}

Steps:
  •  In this program we are using first type JDBC driver. Load the JDBC driver by using Class.forName() method. 
  • Create connection by passing the URL, username and password in DriverManager class getConnection method. 
  • Mention images directory path in String type of variable. 
  • Pass images directories path in File to load all the images list. 
  • Store list of images into an array, by using the array size we will execute the for loop. 
  • Create the prepared statement and set the Image by using the setBinaryStream() method. 
  • Execute the prepared statement by using the executeUpdate() method. 
  • Execute the Insert images program to insert images into IMAGES table.

Multithreading in java with example

Multithreading  is one of the most important concept in core java. 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. The first person has sent a request to allocate that ticket/berth to him. At the same time, the second person also sent a request to allocate that ...

How to retrieve data from table by using JDBC with example

To retrieve data from mysql data table by using jdbc, we need to confirm weather which table data we need to retrieve. To confirm open your mysql and view all database names by using the ' show databases ' commands in mysql. Then select which is your database name from showing list of database names, by using the ' use <database name> ' command in mysql. Then we need to see all your existing tables by executing the ' show tables ' command. This command gives you the list of existing tables in your selected database. You need to use existing table only you can follow with that. But, here we will see with entirely new which is not existing in mysql database.

How to sort list of objects in java with examples

We could achieve list of objects sorting in java by using sort() method which is available under Collections class as well as by using Comparable and Comparator  interfaces. Comparable and Comparator are two interfaces in java used to sort list of objects. These interfaces are available under java.util package along with Collections  class and other classes and interfaces. Comparable interface contains the method of       public int compareTo(Object obj) Comparator interface contains the method of       public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2) The compare() and compareTo() methods will return negative integer(-1), or zero(0) or positive integer(1). When the first obj1 is less than obj2 method will return negative integer. When obj1 is equals to obj2 will return zero and when obj1 is grater than obj2 it will return positive integer. If it's objects are stored in any Collection classes like ArrayList, H...

A: String is a class in java.lang package. But, in java, all classes are also are considered as data types. So we can take String as data type also. Q2:  What is the difference between == and equals() methods in java? A: == operator compares the references of the String object. It does not compare the content of the object. equals() method compares the contents. While comparing the Strings, equals method should be used as it yields the correct result.

Store file into table by using JDBC with example

To store large data files or text files into database table, we will use CLOB (Charecter Large Object) datatype of SQL . By using CLOB it is possible to save entire text book or a file or resume into a column of data table. If your using MySQL database instead of CLOB use LONGTEXT to save file into datatable. For saving files into a data table, we need to create one table which will contains a column type as CLOB to store files. Here, is the query to create a data table. 1 2 3 4 create table myfiles( file_id int ( 10 ), file_name varchar ( 30 ), file_type LONGTEXT); Once table creation completes, these table contains the 3 columns one is file_id represents the file id, file_name represents the name of the file and finally file_type will get save entire file into the table column. Now, we will move to write a JDBC program which will saves the file into the newly creating table. Here is the JDBC program, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16...
