Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

Situation: I am working with JDBC 2.0, jdk 1.2. I do not have access to the oracle.sql.Clob

Problem: I can get the Clob out of the data base, using
a select...for update, resultSet.getClob(). But I can find no way to update the Clob before saving it.

Every comment on this topic that I can locate says to use the getCharacterOutputStream() on the Clob, but that is an oracle.sql.Clob method. In the jdk 1.4, This will be cleared up since they are adding a setCharacterStream method to the Clob which I could then use. But I don't have that version of the jdk.

I should say that I am able to update the clob doing the following:

BufferedReader aReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("filename"));
CreatePreparedStatement("Update Table set Clob_Col = ?");
setCharacterStream(1, aReader, filelength);
execute();

But this has that 4000 character limit on it and truncates my file.

I really need help with this, I have been searching for answers for days. I believe the issue I am facing is the same as is reported in bug: 4481479, but the person who reported this bug had access to the oracle.sql.clob and no other workaround is listed.

Please help me.
