I have tried the source code at this link http://www.mathworks.com/help/database/ug/retrieving-binary-or-other-sun-java-sql-data-types.html. but I get an error like this

ans =

    [3]    [255x1 int8]
??? Error using ==> imread at 342 Unable to determine the file format.

Error in ==> parsebinary at 74 [x,map] = imread(['testfile.' lower(f)]);

Error in ==> saveimg at 13 parsebinary(gbr, 'bmp');
