            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT <CLOBCOL> FROM <TABLE> WHERE ...");

            while (rs.next()) {
                Clob clob = rs.getClob(1);
                String clobstr = clob.getSubString(1, (int) clob.length());
                fw.write(clobstr);
                fw.write("\n");
            }
            fw.close();
            rs.close();
            stmt.close();
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
