Windows :: How To Retrieve The Blob Column Data From Table

I use the oracle 10g database.I am trying to insert and retrive the image.Inserting an image is done.but while retrieving an image iam getting an run time exception in java "java.sql.sqlexception:general error".i am not able to understand this.

The code to insert the image is
FileInputStream fi=new FileInputStream(f);
int size = fi.available();
System.out.println("j"+size);
byte b1[] = new byte[size];
i=fi.read(b1,0,size);
System.out.println("i"+i);
st.executeUpdate("insert into image1 values('b1',"+k+")");
when i am retrieving the image i tried like this
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery("select imagecolumn from tablename");
here iam getting an exception as i named above.
