oracle.sql
Class ARRAY

java.lang.Object
  extended by oracle.sql.Datum
      extended by oracle.sql.DatumWithConnection
          extended by oracle.sql.ARRAY

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Array, oracle.jdbc.internal.ACProxyable, oracle.jdbc.internal.OracleDatumWithConnection, OracleArray

Deprecated. Use java.sql.Array interface for declaration instead of using concrete class oracle.sql.ARRAY.

public class ARRAY
extends DatumWithConnection
implements oracle.jdbc.internal.OracleArray

This class has two roles.

Like other classes in oracle.sql. it is a value class. That is, once it is constructed the user should not change its contents. The type of the array elements is called the "Base Type" An Oracle implementation for generic JDBC Array interface. Use Array interface for declaration instead of using concrete class oracle.sql.ARRAY. java.sql.Array has methods declared for all opertions. For Oracle specific methods use the interface OracleArray.

Obtaining java.sql.Array from the ResultSet

java.sql.Array array = resultSet.getArray(...);

Creating a new java.sql.Array using factory method. OracleConnection.createOracleArray(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object) should be used to create java.sql.Array. Connection.createArrayOf(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object[]) throws an exception since Oracle does not support creation of anonymous array type.

java.sql.Array array = ((oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection)connection).createOracleArray((...);

Deprecated. 
Implements Array interface method Returns a result set that contains the elements of the array designated by this Array object. If appropriate, the elements of the array are mapped using the connection's type map; otherwise, the standard mapping is used.

Deprecated. 
Implements Array interface method Returns a result set that contains the elements of the array designated by this Array object and uses the given map to map the array elements. If the base type of the array does not match a user-defined type in map, the standard mapping is used instead.

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.

                       throws SQLException
Deprecated. 
Implements Array interface method Returns a result set holding the elements of the subarray that starts at index index and contains up to count successive elements. This method uses the connection's type map to map the elements of the array if the map contains an entry for the base type. Otherwise, the standard mapping is used.

The result set has one row for each element of the SQL array designated by this object, with the first row containing the element at index index. The result set has up to count rows in ascending order based on the indices. Each row has two columns: The second column stores the element value; the first column stroes the index into the array for that element.

Specified by:
getResultSet in interface Array
Parameters:
index - the array index of the first element to retrieve; the first element is at index 1
count - the number of successive SQL array elements to retrieve

                       throws SQLException
Deprecated. 
Implements Array interface method Returns a result set holding the elements of the subarray that starts at index index and contains up to count successive elements. This method uses the Map object map to map the elements of the array unless the base type of the array does not match a user-defined type in map, in which case it uses the standard mapping.

The result set has one row for each element of the SQL array designated by this object, with the first row containing the element at index index. The result set has up to count rows in ascending order based on the indices. Each row has two columns: The second column stores the element value; the first column stroes the index into the array for that element.
