Hi,
Yesterday I spent some time making JDBC driver to work, and I believe
that better error message could save some time for other developers
having the same problem.
I was struggling with method
preparedStatement.setBinaryStream(2, inputStream, file.length())
which resulted in "Not implemented exception". After a while I realized
that there are two methods:
setBinaryStream(int, InputStream, int)
setBinaryStream(int, InputStream, long)
Where the first one is implemented and the second one is not. Adding to
the fact that file.length() returns long, so a user saving file to the
database will most probably hit same exception.
While the second method is still unimplemented, IMHO it should return
more helpful exception message like:
"Not implemented yet. If the stream size fits integer value, you may
use setBinaryStream(int, InputStream, int) instead.".
Other users seems to have the same problem [1][2].
