Create a PreparedStatement object using the prepareStatement() method of the Connection interface. To this method pass the insert query (with place holders) as a parameter.

PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO Technologies(Name,
Type, Article ) VALUES (?, ?, ?)");

Set the values to the place holders using the setter methods of the PreparedStatement interface. Chose the methods according to the datatype of the column. For Example if the column is of VARCHAR type use setString() method and if it is of INT type you can use setInt() method.

And if it is of Clob type you can set value to it using the setCharacterStream() or setClob() methods. To these methods pass an integer variable representing the parameter index and an object of the Reader class as parameters.

pstmt.setString(1, "JavaFX");
pstmt.setString(2, "Java Library");
FileReader reader = new FileReader("E:\\images\\javafx.txt");
pstmt.setClob(3, reader);
pstmt.execute();

Execute the above created PreparedStatement object using the execute() method of the PreparedStatement interface.

Retrieving blob from database

The getClob() method of the ResultSet interface accepts an integer representing the index of the column (or, a String value representing the name of the column) and retrieves the value at the specified column and returns it in the form of a Clob object.

while(rs.next()) {
   System.out.println(rs.getString("Name"));
   System.out.println(rs.getString("Type"));
   Clob clob = rs.getClob("Article");
}

The getCharacterStream() method of the Clob Interface retrieves the contents of the current Clob object and returns as a Reader object.

Using the getClob() method you can get the contents of the Clob as a Reader object and create text file with the retrieved contents, using the write() method of the FileOutputStream object.

Reader r = clob.getCharacterStream();
char cbuf[] = new char[r.read()];
r.read(cbuf);
FileOutputStream outPutStream = new
FileOutputStream("E:\\images\\clob_output"+i+".txt");
outPutStream.write(cbuf.toString().getBytes());
