public abstract void setCharacterStream (int parameterIndex, Reader reader, int length) throws SQLException

Sets the designated parameter to the given Reader object, which is the given number of characters long. When a very large UNICODE value is input to a LONGVARCHAR parameter, it may be more practical to send it via a java.io.Reader object. The data will be read from the stream as needed until end-of-file is reached. The JDBC driver will do any necessary conversion from UNICODE to the database char format.

Note: This stream object can either be a standard Java stream object or your own subclass that implements the standard interface.

Parameters:
parameterIndex    the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
reader    the java.io.Reader object that contains the Unicode data
length    the number of characters in the stream

Exceptions:
SQLException    if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement
