Two of the three PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream methods are not implemented as of version 9.0-801 of the PostgreSQL JDBC driver. Test program: import java.io.*; import java.sql.*; pub... Also note that setBinaryStream only works on a bytea column.

Some weirdness observed while updating BLOB with PostgreSQL JDBC driver: LOB position offset starts at 1 (not 0 as in IO input stream). When you call setBinaryStream(long pos) , pos must be greater than 0. I think this is JDBC standard behavior. When you write to a BLOB output stream, new contents overwrite existing contents. Old contents are not automatically truncated. If new content length is shorter than old contents, the old contents will remain after the position where new content ended. You can call Blob.truncate(long len) to truncate existing contents. However , there seems to be an discrepancy between the JDBC doc and PostgreSQL JDBC driver. The JDBC JavaDoc states that: Truncates the BLOB value that this Blob object represents to be len bytes...

The -d switch for cURL sends HTTP POST with data from the command line. To verify the data being posted, this is a CGI script that echos the data back: #!C:/perl/bin/perl.exe ## ## echo -- echos ... Examples: POST data from command line: C:\>curl -d input1=value1^&input1=value2 http://lo... POST data from stdin (with @ before the - symbol): C:\>curl -d @- http://localhost/cgi-bin/echo.pl ... POST data from a file (with @ before the - symbol and input redirect): C:\tmp>cat data.txt abcd 1234 xyz ... For some reason, @ with file name didn't work as expected: C:\tmp>curl -d @data.txt http://localhost/cgi-bin/... One thing to notice is that cURL removes the new line characters when posting (thus the echo back is only one line instead of three). This can...

cURL is a command line tool for transferring files with URL syntax. The main purpose and use for cURL is to automate unattended file transfers or sequences of operations.
