JDBC: LONG BYTE stream writing

[Raimund Jacob]

hello again!

i just (scaredly) realized that all JDBC stream writing methods (in 
PreparedStatement) require a "length" parameter indicating the length of 
the stream to be written.

i was hoping that SAP DB would not require that parameter and had a look 
at the JDBC driver sources. In StreamTranslator.java i found out that 
only setBlob() works; setXXXStream throws an exception. questions: did i 
read the sources correctly ? do i always have to supply the length 
parameter ?
