title: Oracle Database BLOB to InputStream in Java?
body: <p>I made a Java function that takes an <code>InputStream</code> as an input.  I have a <code>oracle.sql.BLOB</code> instance to pass to that function. How can I convert it to a <code>InputStream</code>? </p>
  
  <p>Do I need to re-write my function using a BLOB parameter, instead?</p>
