| 28 | +/** | |
| 29 | + * The interface used for the custom mapping of an SQL user-defined type (UDT) to | |
| 30 | + * a class in the Java programming language. The class object for a class | |
| 31 | + * implementing the <code>SQLData</code> interface will be entered in the | |
| 32 | + * appropriate <code>Connection</code> object's type map along with the SQL | |
| 33 | + * name of the UDT for which it is a custom mapping. | |
| 34 | + * <P> | |
| 35 | + * Typically, a <code>SQLData</code> implementation | |
| 36 | + * will define a field for each attribute of an SQL structured type or a | |
| 37 | + * single field for an SQL <code>DISTINCT</code> type. When the UDT is | |
| 38 | + * retrieved from a data source with the <code>ResultSet.getObject</code> | |
| 39 | + * method, it will be mapped as an instance of this class. A programmer | |
| 40 | + * can operate on this class instance just as on any other object in the | |
| 41 | + * Java programming language and then store any changes made to it by | |
| 42 | + * calling the <code>PreparedStatement.setObject</code> method, | |
| 43 | + * which will map it back to the SQL type. | |
| 44 | + * <p> | |
| 45 | + * It is expected that the implementation of the class for a custom | |
| 46 | + * mapping will be done by a tool. In a typical implementation, the | |
| 47 | + * programmer would simply supply the name of the SQL UDT, the name of | |
| 48 | + * the class to which it is being mapped, and the names of the fields to | |
| 49 | + * which each of the attributes of the UDT is to be mapped. The tool will use | |
| 50 | + * this information to implement the <code>SQLData.readSQL</code> and | |
| 51 | + * <code>SQLData.writeSQL</code> methods. The <code>readSQL</code> method | |
| 52 | + * calls the appropriate <code>SQLInput</code> methods to read | |
| 53 | + * each attribute from an <code>SQLInput</code> object, and the | |
| 54 | + * <code>writeSQL</code> method calls <code>SQLOutput</code> methods | |
| 55 | + * to write each attribute back to the data source via an | |
| 56 | + * <code>SQLOutput</code> object. | |
| 57 | + * <P> | |
| 58 | + * An application programmer will not normally call <code>SQLData</code> methods | |
| 59 | + * directly, and the <code>SQLInput</code> and <code>SQLOutput</code> methods | |
| 60 | + * are called internally by <code>SQLData</code> methods, not by application code. | |
