Is it possible to write the file received through the socket to the database?

Question

Java

Subject. We accept a file (server), something like this:

byte[] buffer = new byte[64*1024];
                    FileOutputStream outF = new FileOutputStream(fileName);
                    int count, total = 0;                 
                    while ((count = din.read(buffer)) != -1){               
                        total += count;
                        outF.write(buffer, 0, count);                 
                        if(total == fileSize){
                            break;
                        }
                    }

So we get it either on disk or in a stream. How to put it into the base? I've been dumb since morning (

That is, how to get access to it for inserting it into the database? And can it then be given back to the client if it is retrieved from the database?

Answer 1

Most often, the file is saved to disk, and only the path to it is "thrown" into the database. But in some cases it makes sense to store the received data entirely in the database, use BLOBs for this .
