Interface SQLInput
-
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- SQLInputImpl
public interface SQLInput
An input stream that contains a stream of values representing an instance of an SQL structured type or an SQL distinct type. This interface, used only for custom mapping, is used by the driver behind the scenes, and a programmer never directly invokesSQLInput
methods. The reader methods (readLong
,readBytes
, and so on) provide a way for an implementation of theSQLData
interface to read the values in anSQLInput
object. And as described inSQLData
, calls to reader methods must be made in the order that their corresponding attributes appear in the SQL definition of the type. The methodwasNull
is used to determine whether the last value read was SQLNULL
.When the method
getObject
is called with an object of a class implementing the interfaceSQLData
, the JDBC driver calls the methodSQLData.getSQLType
to determine the SQL type of the user-defined type (UDT) being custom mapped. The driver creates an instance ofSQLInput
, populating it with the attributes of the UDT. The driver then passes the input stream to the methodSQLData.readSQL
, which in turn calls theSQLInput
reader methods in its implementation for reading the attributes from the input stream.- Since:

readObject
default <T> T readObject(Class<T> type) throws SQLException
Reads the next attribute in the stream and returns it as anObject
in the Java programming language. The actual type of the object returned is determined by the specified Java data type, and any customizations present in this stream's type map.A type map is registered with the stream by the JDBC driver before the stream is passed to the application.
When the attribute at the head of the stream is an SQL
NULL
the method returnsnull
. If the attribute is an SQL structured or distinct type, it determines the SQL type of the attribute at the head of the stream. If the stream's type map has an entry for that SQL type, the driver constructs an object of the appropriate class and calls the methodSQLData.readSQL
on that object, which reads additional data from the stream, using the protocol described for that method.The default implementation will throw
