Java File upload to MySQL

I have this problem getting a `java.io.File` from the selection of a `JFileChooser` to upload the said `java.io.File` object to the MySQL Table having this table structure ``` COL_NAME COL_TYPE ATTRIBUTES EXTRA (PK) idSample int(10) UNSIGNED ZEROFILL AUTO_INCREMENT FileName varchar(250) FileBin blob BINARY ``` And from this Java code, the `newConnection` method is a static method of the class wherein it returns a new instance of a DriverManager default to the said MySQL Database. Another thing, I am using the `java.sql` package not the `com.mysql.jdbc` package. ``` public static boolean insert(final String filename, File file) throws SQLException, IOException { boolean flag = false; try { Connection connection = newConnection(); PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(SQL_INSERT); statement.setString(1, filename); statement.setBlob(2, new FileInputStream(file), file.length()); flag = statement.executeUpdate() > 0; statement.close(); connection.close(); } catch (SQLException ex) { throw ex; } catch (IOException ex) { throw ex; } return flag; } ``` When I tried to run the program, it returns an error leading to the `statement.setBlob` line having this stacktrace: ``` Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.setBlob(ILjava/io/InputStream;J)V ``` How can I resolve this problem?
