hey all.
I've been having diffuculty figuring out how to append data to a blob column.

I'm using mysql 4.1 and the latest connector/j driver.

I'm storing large amounts of data that will be varialbe up to 5GB. The only way to get around this without having an obscene amount of memory on the DB server, and without having to increase the max_packet_size variable is to stream the data in chunks....

one solution I have now, but I don't like, is storing each chunk in its own row of data... bleh!

what I want to do is create the row with the blob column. Then execute a Prepared statment with a 'for update' to get an updateable ResultSet back. and for each chunk of data get the blob from the ResultSet, and append the next chunk to the end of the blob and then call updateRow()

that way I only have one row of data for my blob instead of 50 rows...

but when I run my code, all I get is the last chunk of data, the update is overwriting it.

any ideas or solutions?

thanks.
