global temporary table --> invalid ROWID?

[Corrine]

Hi,

I am creating a global temporary table that is session-specific. I
insert a BLOB into this table, and then select the BLOB from this
table into a ResultSet. The ResultSet sees this BLOB object, and I am
able to get the binary input stream from this blob. However, when I
invoke InputStream.read(byte[]) on this input stream, I get the
following exception:

java.io.IOException: ORA-01410: invalid ROWID
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 751
ORA-06512: at line 1
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.SQLToIOException(DBEr ror.java:625)

at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleBlobInputStream.needBytes (OracleBlobInputStream.java:179)

at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleBufferedStream.read(Oracl eBufferedStream.java:113)

at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleBufferedStream.read(Oracl eBufferedStream.java:91)
...

Just for clarity, here is basically the code I'm using:

CallableStatement cstmt2 = db.prepareCall("commit");
CallableStatement cstmt = db.prepareCall("create global temporary
table temp_table (blobid NUMBER unique, blob_col BLOB) on commit
preserve rows");
cstmt.execute();
cstmt.close();
cstmt2.execute();
CallableStatement cstmt1 = db.prepareCall("insert into temp_table
values (1, empty_blob())");
cstmt1.execute();
cstmt1.close();
cstmt2.execute();
cstmt2.close();

CallableStatement plsqlblock =
db.prepareCall(stringThatFillsInEmptyBlobInTempTab le);
plsqlblock.execute();
plsqlblock.close();

PreparedStatement pstmt1 = db.prepareStatement("select blob_col from
temp_table where blobid = 1");
ResultSet rset = pstmt1.executeQuery();
BLOB bl;
if (rset.next())
{
System.out.println("success."); //<--- This prints out.
bl = ((OracleResultSet)rset).getBLOB(1);
}
pstmt1.close();

InputStream bis = bl.getBinaryStream();
int numBytes = 0;
byte[] theBytes = new byte[appropriateLength];
numBytes = bis.read(theBytes); ///*******EXCEPTION HAPPENS
HERE!!!!
I would also like to mention that when I change temp_table to be just
a regular table, everything works correctly.

What's the problem, and how do I fix it?

Thanks,

Reason as per my understanding: java front end would be using
connection pooling, and the session is not bound. so once the back end
proc gives the output back to front end, and then the front end tries
to access the blob stored in the global temp table, it will give
error, as global temp table is session specific. (so rowid not found).
Same type of errors would be encountered with ref cursors based on
global temp tables.
So, don't use Global Temporary tables for returning resultsets to java
front end.
Hope this helps.

If it works on a regular table then why are you making things more expensive
by putting it in a temp table first? Just get it out of the regular table.

Is a temporary table really more expensive than a regular table?
Actually, I prefer a temporary table, because my application serves
multiple users simultaneously. I am concerned about concurrency
issues that arise if I use
just a regular table.

Speaking of which, what if I use a temporary BLOB rather than a
temporary table? I am trying to do this now, but I can't figure out
how to get the modified BLOB object back to Java after the PLSQL block
has finished executing.

I do:

BLOB bl = BLOB.createTemporary(db,true,BLOB.DURATION_SESSION );
CallableStatement plsqlblock = conn.prepareCall(
"declare\n"+
" stuff... \n"+
"begin\n"+
" procThatModifiesBLOB(?);\n"+
"end;\n");
plsqlblock.setBlob(1, bl);
plsqlblock.execute();

bl = plsqlblock.getBlob(1); //**** doesn't work.

How do I retrieve the modified value of "bl" after "plsqlblock"
finishes executing?

You don't need a temporary table. In Oracle readers don't block readers or
writers and writers don't block readers. This type of programming is often
seen in SQLServer because of the lack of concurrency. Using a regular table
you will not see concurrency issues in Oracle.
