Class Clob

java.lang.Object
  org.objectweb.cjdbc.driver.Clob

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.sql.Clob, java.io.Serializable

public class Clob

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.sql.Clob, java.io.Serializable

The representation (mapping) in the Java ^TM programming language of an SQL CLOB value. An SQL CLOB is a built-in type that stores a Character Large Object as a column value in a row of a database table. By default drivers implement Clob using an SQL locator(CLOB), which means that a Clob object contains a logical pointer to the SQL CLOB data rather than the data itself. A Clob object is valid for the duration of the transaction in which is was created.

Methods in the interfaces DriverResultSet,CallableStatement, and PreparedStatement, such as getClob and setClob allow a programmer to access an SQL CLOB value. The Clob interface provides methods for getting the length of an SQL CLOB (Character Large Object) value, for materializing a CLOB value on the client, and for determining the position of a pattern of bytes within a CLOB value. In addition, this interface has methods for updating a CLOB value.
