Interface Clob

All Known Implementing Classes:
SerialClob sample code for javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialClob definition code for javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialClob 
public interface Clob

The mapping in the JavaTM programming language for the SQL CLOB type. 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 a Clob object 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 it was created.

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 searching for a substring or CLOB object within a CLOB value. Methods in the interfaces ResultSet sample code for java.sql.ResultSet definition code for java.sql.ResultSet , CallableStatement sample code for java.sql.CallableStatement definition code for java.sql.CallableStatement , and PreparedStatement sample code for java.sql.PreparedStatement definition code for java.sql.PreparedStatement , such as getClob and setClob allow a programmer to access an SQL CLOB value. In addition, this interface has methods for updating a CLOB value.
