setBytes Method (long, byte[], int, int)

Writes all or part of the given array of bytes into the BLOB starting at the given position, offset, and length; and then returns the number of bytes written.

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

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.

offset

The offset in the bytes array where to start reading data from the byte array.

len

The number of bytes to attempt to read from the bytes array into the BLOB.

Return Value

An int containing 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 over-run 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.
