SerialArray
public interface Array
The mapping in the Java programming language for the SQL typeARRAY
. By default, anArray
value is a transaction-duration reference to an SQLARRAY
value. By default, anArray
object is implemented using an SQL LOCATOR(array) internally, which means that anArray
object contains a logical pointer to the data in the SQLARRAY
value rather than containing theARRAY
value's data.The
Array
interface provides methods for bringing an SQLARRAY
value's data to the client as either an array or aResultSet
object. If the elements of the SQLARRAY
are a UDT, they may be custom mapped. To create a custom mapping, a programmer must do two things:- create a class that implements the
SQLData
interface for the UDT to be custom mapped. - make an entry in a type map that contains
- the fully-qualified SQL type name of the UDT
- the
Class
object for the class implementingSQLData
When a type map with an entry for the base type is supplied to the methods
getArray
andgetResultSet
, the mapping it contains will be used to map the elements of theARRAY
value. If no type map is supplied, which would typically be the case, the connection's type map is used by default. If the connection's type map or a type map supplied to a method has no entry for the base type, the elements are mapped according to the standard mapping.All methods on the
Array
interface must be fully implemented if the JDBC driver supports the data type.- Since:

Method Detail
getBaseTypeName
String getBaseTypeName() throws SQLException
Retrieves the SQL type name of the elements in the array designated by thisArray
object. If the elements are a built-in type, it returns the database-specific type name of the elements. If the elements are a user-defined type (UDT), this method returns the fully-qualified SQL type name.- Returns:
-
a
String
that is the database-specific name for a built-in base type; or the fully-qualified SQL type name for a base type that is a UDT - Throws:
SQLException
- if an error occurs while attempting to access the type nameSQLFeatureNotSupportedException
- if the JDBC driver does not support this method- Since:
- 1.2
getBaseType
int getBaseType() throws SQLException
Retrieves the JDBC type of the elements in the array designated by thisArray
object.- Returns:
-
a constant from the class
Types
that is the type code for the elements in the array designated by thisArray
object - Throws:
SQLException
- if an error occurs while attempting to access the base typeSQLFeatureNotSupportedException
- if the JDBC driver does not support this method- Since:
- 1.2
getArray
Object getArray() throws SQLException
Retrieves the contents of the SQLARRAY
value designated by thisArray
object in the form of an array in the Java programming language. This version of the methodgetArray
uses the type map associated with the connection for customizations of the type mappings.Note: When
getArray
is used to materialize a base type that maps to a primitive data type, then it is implementation-defined whether the array returned is an array of that primitive data type or an array ofObject
.- Returns:
-
an array in the Java programming language that contains the ordered elements of the SQL
ARRAY
value designated by thisArray
object - Throws:
SQLException
- if an error occurs while attempting to access the arraySQLFeatureNotSupportedException
- if the JDBC driver does not support this method- Since:
- 1.2
getArray
Object getArray(Map<String,Class<?>> map) throws SQLException
Retrieves the contents of the SQLARRAY
value designated by thisArray
object. This method uses the specifiedmap
for type map customizations unless the base type of the array does not match a user-defined type inmap
, in which case it uses the standard mapping. This version of the methodgetArray
uses either the given type map or the standard mapping; it never uses the type map associated with the connection.Note: When
getArray
is used to materialize a base type that maps to a primitive data type, then it is implementation-defined whether the array returned is an array of that primitive data type or an array ofObject
.- Parameters:
map
- ajava.util.Map
object that contains mappings of SQL type names to classes in the Java programming language- Returns:
- an array in the Java programming language that contains the ordered elements of the SQL array designated by this object
- Throws:
SQLException
- if an error occurs while attempting to access the arraySQLFeatureNotSupportedException
- if the JDBC driver does not support this method- Since:
- 1.2
getArray
Object getArray(long index, int count) throws SQLException
Retrieves a slice of the SQLARRAY
value designated by thisArray
object, beginning with the specifiedindex
and containing up tocount
successive elements of the SQL array. This method uses the type map associated with the connection for customizations of the type mappings.Note: When
getArray
is used to materialize a base type that maps to a primitive data type, then it is implementation-defined whether the array returned is an array of that primitive data type or an array ofObject
.- Parameters:
index
- the array index of the first element to retrieve; the first element is at index 1count
- the number of successive SQL array elements to retrieve- Returns:
-

value designated by thisArray
object, beginning with the specifiedindex
and containing up tocount
successive elements of the SQL array.This method uses the specified
map
for type map customizations unless the base type of the array does not match a user-defined type inmap
, in which case it uses the standard mapping. This version of the methodgetArray
uses either the given type map or the standard mapping; it never uses the type map associated with the connection.Note: When
getArray
is used to materialize a base type that maps to a primitive data type, then it is implementation-defined whether the array returned is an array of that primitive data type or an array ofObject

- 1.2
getResultSet
ResultSet getResultSet() throws SQLException
Retrieves a result set that contains the elements of the SQLARRAY
value designated by thisArray
object. If appropriate, the elements of the array are mapped using the connection's type map; otherwise, the standard mapping is used.The result set contains one row for each array element, with two columns in each row. The second column stores the element value; the first column stores the index into the array for that element (with the first array element being at index 1). The rows are in ascending order corresponding to the order of the indices.
