public interfaceRef
The mapping in the Java programming language of an SQLREF value, which is a reference to an SQL structured type value in the database.
SQLREF values are stored in a table that contains instances of a referenceable SQL structured type, and eachREF value is a unique identifier for one instance in that table. An SQLREF value may be used in place of the SQL structured type it references, either as a column value in a table or an attribute value in a structured type.
Because an SQLREF value is a logical pointer to an SQL structured type, aRef object is by default also a logical pointer. Thus, retrieving an SQLREF value as aRef object does not materialize the attributes of the structured type on the client.
ARef object can be stored in the database using thePreparedStatement.setRef method.
All methods on theRef interface must be fully implemented if the JDBC driver supports the data type.
StructgetBaseTypeName()Retrieves the fully-qualified SQL name of the SQL structured type that this Ref object references. | |
getObject()Retrieves the SQL structured type instance referenced by this Ref object. | |
getObject(Map<String,Class<?>> map)Retrieves the referenced object and maps it to a Java type using the given type map. | |
setObject(Object value)Sets the structured type value that this Ref object references to the given instance ofObject. | |
