Below is the code is used to fetch the data: But i am getting the error "Error: Read error" while reading the field "DETAILED_DESCRIPTION"

Statement statement;

ResultSet resultSet;

oracleCon.setAutoCommit(false);

statement = oracleCon.createStatement();

String chdet[] = new String[8];
String query="SELECT DESCRIPTION,DETAILED_DESCRIPTION,PRIORITY,RISK_LEVEL FROM Table_Name"; 

                    resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);
                    ArrayList<String> record=new ArrayList<String>();               

                    while (resultSet.next())
                    {
                    record.add(resultSet.getString("DESCRIPTION"));                 
                    record.add(resultSet.getString("DETAILED_DESCRIPTION"));
                    record.add(resultSet.getString("PRIORITY"));
                    record.add(resultSet.getString("RISK_LEVEL"));              
                    }                   
                    if(record.size()>0)             
                    {
                        chdet[0] = record.get(0);
                        chdet[1] = record.get(1);
                        chdet[2] = record.get(2);
                        chdet[3] = record.get(3);
                        break;                          
                    }                               
                }
            return chdet;   

Answer 1

After retrieving your data, you can use the getClob () method to return your Clob. Then you needs to open the Clob's stream to read the data (Mayb be char or binary data).

If the clob is known to be a plain string, you maybe also wish to use

clob.getSubString(1, (int) clob.length());

So try this

Clob clob = resultSet.getClob("DETAILED_DESCRIPTION")
record.add(clob.getSubString(1, (int) clob.length());
