Hi,

U Can handle CLOB as follows:

try
{
String str = "The String to be converted";

Class.forName("driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("url","username","password");

PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT
INTO YOURTABLE VALUES (?)");
//The column is a CLOB column
ps.setBinaryStream(3,new StringBufferInputStream(str),str.length());

ps.executeUpdate();
}
catch(Exception e)
{

System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();

}
}



Cheers
