| /** |
| * The interface used for the custom mapping of an SQL user-defined type (UDT) to |
| * a class in the Java programming language. The class object for a class |
| * implementing the {@code SQLData} interface will be entered in the |
| * appropriate {@code Connection} object's type map along with the SQL |
| * name of the UDT for which it is a custom mapping. |
| * <P> |
| * Typically, a {@code SQLData} implementation |
| * will define a field for each attribute of an SQL structured type or a |
| * single field for an SQL {@code DISTINCT} type. When the UDT is |
| * retrieved from a data source with the {@code ResultSet.getObject} |
| * method, it will be mapped as an instance of this class. A programmer |
| * can operate on this class instance just as on any other object in the |
| * Java programming language and then store any changes made to it by |
| * calling the {@code PreparedStatement.setObject} method, |
| * which will map it back to the SQL type. |
| * <p> |
| * It is expected that the implementation of the class for a custom |
| * mapping will be done by a tool. In a typical implementation, the |
| * programmer would simply supply the name of the SQL UDT, the name of |
| * the class to which it is being mapped, and the names of the fields to |
| * which each of the attributes of the UDT is to be mapped. The tool will use |
| * this information to implement the {@code SQLData.readSQL} and |
| * {@code SQLData.writeSQL} methods. The {@code readSQL} method |
| * calls the appropriate {@code SQLInput} methods to read |
| * each attribute from an {@code SQLInput} object, and the |
| * {@code writeSQL} method calls {@code SQLOutput} methods |
| * to write each attribute back to the data source via an |
| * {@code SQLOutput} object. |
| * <P> |
| * An application programmer will not normally call {@code SQLData} methods |
| * directly, and the {@code SQLInput} and {@code SQLOutput} methods |
| * are called internally by {@code SQLData} methods, not by application code. |
