| 28 | +/** | |
| 29 | + * The mapping in the Java programming language of an SQL <code>REF</code> | |
| 30 | + * value, which is a reference to an SQL structured type value in the database. | |
| 31 | + * <P> | |
| 32 | + * SQL <code>REF</code> values are stored in a table that contains | |
| 33 | + * instances of a referenceable SQL structured type, and each <code>REF</code> | |
| 34 | + * value is a unique identifier for one instance in that table. | |
| 35 | + * An SQL <code>REF</code> value may be used in place of the | |
| 36 | + * SQL structured type it references, either as a column value in a | |
| 37 | + * table or an attribute value in a structured type. | |
| 38 | + * <P> | |
| 39 | + * Because an SQL <code>REF</code> value is a logical pointer to an | |
| 40 | + * SQL structured type, a <code>Ref</code> object is by default also a logical | |
| 41 | + * pointer. Thus, retrieving an SQL <code>REF</code> value as | |
| 42 | + * a <code>Ref</code> object does not materialize | |
| 43 | + * the attributes of the structured type on the client. | |
| 44 | + * <P> | |
| 45 | + * A <code>Ref</code> object can be stored in the database using the | |
| 46 | + * <code>PreparedStatement.setRef</code> method. | |
| 47 | + * <p> | |
| 48 | + * All methods on the <code>Ref</code> interface must be fully implemented if the | |
| 49 | + * JDBC driver supports the data type. | |
