Writes the given array of bytes into the BLOB starting at the given position, and then returns the number of bytes written.

Syntax

  
public int setBytes(long pos,  
                    byte[] bytes)

Parameters

pos

The position (1-based) in the BLOB at which to start writing the data.

bytes

The array of bytes to be written into the BLOB.

Return Value

A long value that specifies the number of bytes written.

Exceptions

java.sql.SQLException

Remarks

This setBytes method is specified by the setBytes method in the java.sql.Blob interface.

Data is overwritten starting at the specified position and can overrun the initial length of the BLOB. Specifying a position+1 values will append bytes. Passing a position+2 or greater (or zero or less) value will cause a position error to be thrown. Passing a zero-length byte array will return zero because no bytes were written.
