To save content of Text file into Database.

  1. Create a table with CLOB
  2. Use java.io.Reader to read the text file
  3. Use JDBC API (PreparedStatement) to execute INSERT statement.
String sql="INSERT INTO TableName (clobCol) VALUES (?)";
PrepareStatement ps=connection.prepareStatement(sql);
ps.setClob(1,readerObject);

Just InputStream? Googling around I get C# results which imply that the steps are much more complicated, which is actually what's confusing me!
No, a Reader, you are dealing with character data.
