Insert a image in Data Base using Java

File file = new File(imageURL); FileInputStream input; byte[] data = null; try {     input = new FileInputStream(file);     data = new byte[input.available()];     input.close(); } catch (Exception e) {     e.printStackTrace(); } Then I build my Image object: Imagen ima = new Imagen(0, data, new Date()); and I send it into another manager. I get converted the byte[] into a BLOB object like this:     byte[] datos = image.getDatos();     Blob blob = null;     try {         blob = conection.createBlob();         blob.setBytes(1,datos);     } catch (SQLException e) {                  e.printStackTrace();     }       java.sql.Date sqlDate = new java.sql.Date(image.getFecha().getTime());       String query = " INSERT INTO imagen VALUES('" + image.getId() + "','"             + blob + "','" + sqlDate + "') ";       int lastID = BBDD.add(query, conection); I can run this without problems but I only get something like this "com.mysql.jdbc.Blob@1e1962d" and my MySQL doesn´t show my anything else.
