Class SerialClob

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Clob

    public class SerialClob
    extends Object
    implements Clob, Serializable, Cloneable
    A serialized mapping in the Java programming language of an SQL CLOB value.

    The SerialClob class provides a constructor for creating an instance from a Clob object. Note that the Clob object should have brought the SQL CLOB value's data over to the client before a SerialClob object is constructed from it. The data of an SQL CLOB value can be materialized on the client as a stream of Unicode characters.

    SerialClob methods make it possible to get a substring from a SerialClob object or to locate the start of a pattern of characters.

    Thread safety

    A SerialClob is not safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. If a SerialClob is to be used by more than one thread then access to the SerialClob should be controlled by appropriate synchronization.

    • Constructor Detail

      • SerialClob

        public SerialClob​(char[] ch)
                   throws SerialException,
                          SQLException
        Constructs a SerialClob object that is a serialized version of the given char array.

        The new SerialClob object is initialized with the data from the char array, thus allowing disconnected RowSet objects to establish a serialized Clob object without touching the data source.

        Parameters:
        ch - the char array representing the Clob object to be serialized
        Throws:
        SerialException - if an error occurs during serialization
        SQLException - if a SQL error occurs
      • SerialClob

        public SerialClob​(Clob clob)
                   throws SerialException,
                          SQLException
        Constructs a SerialClob object that is a serialized version of the given Clob object.

        The new SerialClob object is initialized with the data from the Clob object; therefore, the Clob object should have previously brought the SQL CLOB value's data over to the client from the database. Otherwise, the new SerialClob object object will contain no data.

        Note: The Clob object supplied to this constructor must return non-null for both the Clob.getCharacterStream() and Clob.getAsciiStream methods. This SerialClob constructor cannot serialize a Clob object in this instance and will throw an SQLException object.

        Parameters:
        clob - the Clob object from which this SerialClob object is to be constructed; cannot be null
        Throws:
        SerialException - if an error occurs during serialization
        SQLException - if a SQL error occurs in capturing the CLOB; if the Clob object is a null; or if either of the Clob.getCharacterStream() and Clob.getAsciiStream() methods on the Clob returns a null

        Returns this SerialClob object's data as a stream of Unicode characters. Unlike the related method, getAsciiStream, a stream is produced regardless of whether the SerialClob object was created with a Clob object or a char array.
        Specified by:
        getCharacterStream in interface Clob
        Returns:
        a java.io.Reader object containing this SerialClob object's data
