Exception while Inserting Oracle DB table with Clob column in Groovy

Question

I'm trying to insert a file into a oracle db table by using groovy. I am using the following code:

import groovy.io.FileType
import groovy.sql.Sql
import oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

import java.sql.Date

final def PROJECT_DIR = "/appdata/project/pmp"
final def SCRIPT_DIR = "/scm/src/main/scripts"

// To be able to use driver...
new OracleDriver();

sql = Sql.newInstance("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE", "PMP", "pmp")

sql.execute("delete from SCM_GROOVY_SCRIPTS")

def dir = new File(PROJECT_DIR + SCRIPT_DIR);
dir.eachFileRecurse(FileType.FILES) { file ->
    String scriptName = file.name.substring(0, file.name.indexOf('.'))
    def timestamp = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())

    println scriptName
    println timestamp

    List<Object> params = new ArrayList<>()
    params.add(scriptName)
    params.add(file.bytes)
    params.add(timestamp)

    sql.execute("INSERT INTO SCM_GROOVY_SCRIPTS (SCRIPT_NAME, SCRIPT_SOURCE, LAST_UPDATED) VALUES (?, ?, ?)", params)
}

sql.close()

I get the following output when I execute the code.

If I pass the clob argument as null instead of file.bytes, it inserts all rows without any error. The structure of my table is the following:

CREATE TABLE SCM_GROOVY_SCRIPTS (
        SCRIPT_NAME VARCHAR2(255) NOT NULL,
        SCRIPT_SOURCE CLOB,
        LAST_UPDATED DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE ,
        PRIMARY KEY (SCRIPT_NAME)
);

In addition, the code works if I use BLOB data type instead of CLOB.

Answer 1

Finally, I found a way to insert CLOB data type.

The solution is to use java.sql.Clob and oracle.sql.CLOB classes.

import groovy.io.FileType
import groovy.sql.Sql
import oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
import oracle.sql.CLOB

import java.sql.Clob
import java.sql.Date

final def PROJECT_DIR = "/appdata/project/pmp"
final def SCRIPT_DIR = "/scm/src/main/scripts"

// To be able to use driver...
new OracleDriver();

Sql sql = Sql.newInstance("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE", "PMP", "pmp")

sql.execute("delete from SCM_GROOVY_SCRIPTS")

def dir = new File(PROJECT_DIR + SCRIPT_DIR);
dir.eachFileRecurse(FileType.FILES) { file ->
    String scriptName = file.name.substring(0, file.name.indexOf('.'))
    def timestamp = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())

    println scriptName
    println timestamp

    Clob clob = CLOB.createTemporary(sql.getConnection(), false, CLOB.DURATION_SESSION);
    clob.setString(1, file.getText("UTF-8"))

    List<Object> params = new ArrayList<>()
    params.add(scriptName)
    params.add(clob)
    params.add(timestamp)

    sql.execute("INSERT INTO SCM_GROOVY_SCRIPTS (SCRIPT_NAME, SCRIPT_SOURCE, LAST_UPDATED) VALUES (?, ?, ?)", params)
}

sql.close()
