public class TestClob {



  public TestClob () {

     getConnection() ;

  }



  public void getConnection(){

    java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();

    props.put("user",     "scott");

    props.put("password", "tiger");

    try

    {

      java.sql.Driver d = (java.sql.Driver)Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();

      java.sql.Connection conn = d.connect("jdbcracle:thin:@server.com:1521:instance", props);



      PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(

        "insert into TESTCLOB ( col1, clobcol )" +

        " values ( 'hello', ? ); "

      );

      int index = 1 ;

      String xml = new String("Big XML Document") ;

      stmt.setAsciiStream(index++, new ByteArrayInputStream( xml.getBytes() ), xml.length() );

//      stmt.setBinaryStream(index++, new ByteArrayInputStream( xml.getBytes() ), xml.length() );



      stmt.executeUpdate();



      stmt.close();

    }

    catch (SQLException e) {

       System.out.println ( "SQLexception " + e ) ;

    }

    catch ( IllegalAccessException ie ) {

       System.out.println ( "IllegalAccessException " + ie ) ;

    }

    catch (InstantiationException iie) {

       System.out.println ( "InstantiationException " + iie ) ;

    }

    catch (ClassNotFoundException cn) {

       System.out.println ( "ClassNotFoundException " + cn ) ;

    }



    return ;

  } // end of getConnection



  public static void main ( String[] args ) {

     TestClob tc = new TestClob();



  } // end of main



}

An excerpt from Oracle Documentation:

ORA-00911 invalid character

Cause: Special characters are valid only in certain places. If special characters other than $, _, and # are used in a name and the name is not enclosed in double quotation marks ("), this message will be issued. One exception to this rule is for database names; in this case, double quotes are stripped out and ignored.

Action: Remove the invalid character from the statement or enclose the object name in double quotation marks.

Check out which special characters are invalid!
