| 28 | +/** | |
| 29 | + * | |
| 30 | + * The representation (mapping) in the Java programming language of an SQL ROWID | |
| 31 | + * value. An SQL ROWID is a built-in type, a value of which can be thought of as | |
| 32 | + * an address for its identified row in a database table. Whether that address | |
| 33 | + * is logical or, in any respects, physical is determined by its originating data | |
| 34 | + * source. | |
| 35 | + * <p> | |
| 36 | + * Methods in the interfaces <code>ResultSet</code>, <code>CallableStatement</code>, | |
| 37 | + * and <code>PreparedStatement</code>, such as <code>getRowId</code> and <code>setRowId</code> | |
| 38 | + * allow a programmer to access a SQL <code>ROWID</code> value. The <code>RowId</code> | |
| 39 | + * interface provides a method | |
| 40 | + * for representing the value of the <code>ROWID</code> as a byte array or as a | |
| 41 | + * <code>String</code>. | |
| 42 | + * <p> | |
| 43 | + * The method <code>getRowIdLifetime</code> in the interface <code>DatabaseMetaData</code>, | |
| 44 | + * can be used | |
| 45 | + * to determine if a <code>RowId</code> object remains valid for the duration of the transaction in | |
| 46 | + * which the <code>RowId</code> was created, the duration of the session in which | |
| 47 | + * the <code>RowId</code> was created, | |
| 48 | + * or, effectively, for as long as its identified row is not deleted. In addition | |
| 49 | + * to specifying the duration of its valid lifetime outside its originating data | |
| 50 | + * source, <code>getRowIdLifetime</code> specifies the duration of a <code>ROWID</code> | |
| 51 | + * value's valid lifetime | |
| 52 | + * within its originating data source. In this, it differs from a large object, | |
| 53 | + * because there is no limit on the valid lifetime of a large object within its | |
| 54 | + * originating data source. | |
| 55 | + * <p> | |
| 56 | + * All methods on the <code>RowId</code> interface must be fully implemented if the | |
| 57 | + * JDBC driver supports the data type. | |
| 58 | + * | |
| 59 | + * @see java.sql.DatabaseMetaData | |
| 60 | + * @since 1.6 | |

| 67 | + * object that represents the same ROWID as this object. | |
| 68 | + * <p> | |
| 69 | + * It is important | |
| 70 | + * to consider both the origin and the valid lifetime of a <code>RowId</code> | |
| 71 | + * when comparing it to another <code>RowId</code>. If both are valid, and | |
| 72 | + * both are from the same table on the same data source, then if they are equal | |
