I experienced some problems storing binary data into an Access database with hibernate using the HXTT Access JDBC driver.
First problem:
--------------
It is not possible to use the hibernate type 'blob' with the HXTT Access JDBC driver. Inserting some binary data into a blob field crahes with the following exception:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException:
Blob may not be manipulated from creating session

Although this Exception is thrown by hibernate, this is a JDBC driver problem. Because of this limitation, it is not possible to use HXTT Access in a JPA (Java Persistence API) environment, where a large amount of binary data needs to be stored (at least not in a database independent way; we need to support SQL Server, MySQL and Oracle as well).
Second problem:
---------------
As you might know, hibernate can automatically create all tables of a database for you when the hibernate session factory is beeing started. Creating a table for a Java class with an attriute of type 'byte[]' will always fail with the following error message if the hibernate type is 'binary', 'varbinary' or 'longvarbinary':
ERROR [SchemaUpdate] Unsuccessful:
create table MATERIAL_IMAGE (DISCRIMINATOR varchar(31) not null, id bigint not null, DESCRIPTION varchar(255) null, IMAGE_DATA varbinary null, primary key (id))
ERROR [SchemaUpdate] Syntax error: Stopped parse at null
The driver does not accept the keyword 'null' after 'IMAGE_DATA' varbinary. So it's not possible to let hibernate create your tables, if you data model uses one of the hibernate types 'binary', 'varbinary' or 'longvarbinary'.
