    SerialArray

    public interface Array
    The mapping in the Java programming language for the SQL type ARRAY. By default, an Array value is a transaction-duration reference to an SQL ARRAY value. By default, an Array object is implemented using an SQL LOCATOR(array) internally, which means that an Array object contains a logical pointer to the data in the SQL ARRAY value rather than containing the ARRAY value's data.

    The Array interface provides methods for bringing an SQL ARRAY value's data to the client as either an array or a ResultSet object. If the elements of the SQL ARRAY 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 implementing SQLData

    When a type map with an entry for the base type is supplied to the methods getArray and getResultSet, the mapping it contains will be used to map the elements of the ARRAY 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.

    • Method Detail

      • getBaseTypeName

        String getBaseTypeName()
                       throws SQLException
        Retrieves the SQL type name of the elements in the array designated by this Array 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 name
        SQLFeatureNotSupportedException - 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 this Array object.
        Returns:
        a constant from the class Types that is the type code for the elements in the array designated by this Array object
        Throws:
        SQLException - if an error occurs while attempting to access the base type

      • getArray

        Object getArray()
                throws SQLException
        Retrieves the contents of the SQL ARRAY value designated by this Array object in the form of an array in the Java programming language. This version of the method getArray 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 of Object.

        Returns:
        an array in the Java programming language that contains the ordered elements of the SQL ARRAY value designated by this Array object
        Throws:
        SQLException - if an error occurs while attempting to access the array
        SQLFeatureNotSupportedException - 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 SQL ARRAY value designated by this Array object. This method uses the specified map for type map customizations unless the base type of the array does not match a user-defined type in map, in which case it uses the standard mapping. This version of the method getArray 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 of Object.

        Parameters:
        map - a java.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 array
        SQLFeatureNotSupportedException - if the JDBC driver does not support this method
        Since:
        1.2

      • free

        void free()
          throws SQLException
        This method frees the Array object and releases the resources that it holds. The object is invalid once the free method is called.

        After free has been called, any attempt to invoke a method other than free will result in a SQLException being thrown. If free is called multiple times, the subsequent calls to free are treated as a no-op.

        Throws:
        SQLException - if an error occurs releasing the Array's resources
        SQLFeatureNotSupportedException - if the JDBC driver does not support this method
        Since:
