Re: What causes this exception "Char array not long enough: javaCharsToUtf8Bytes" ?

Without seeing your code, I'd say the problem is you are trying to read too many characters from the database into a character array that is too small. Try using the String datatype instead and then convert to characters via the toCharArray method.

i.e String x = rs.getString(1) // or a column name

    char [] chars = x.toCharArray();

If you want to write binary data to the database I suggest using either BLOBs (Binary Large Objects) or Long RAW columns. Longs are essentially for character data.
