Annotations are the Problem

I've been trying to work out how I can insert large data sets into SQL through Hibernate without requiring my data sets to fit an interface that splits when too large (the overhead of exception handling would be too much, anyway). It would be best if I could just designate my value with extra parameters in the @Lob annotation. However, the annotation has no such properties, even though the XML version of defining the information would support such a customization. I guess that's what I get for trying to cut corners: they cut me back.

It's Been a While

I haven't posted in a while, but here's a good post of frustration!

I have been working on my thesis project, but have and issue with my Blobs... The default type of blob used by Hibernate is too small for my data. So, I need to find a way to make it create a column of type LONGBLOB, or at least MEDIUMBLOB, but it makes me sad. This one issue is (hopefully) all that stands between me and good perforance. However, not being able to save data sets larger than 1MB causes all sorts of issues.
