A <code>NClob</code> object, just like a <code>Clob</code> object, is valid for the duration 0N/A * of the transaction in which it was created. 0N/A * Methods in the interfaces {@link ResultSet}, 0N/A * {@link CallableStatement}, and {@link PreparedStatement}, such as 0N/A * <code>getNClob</code> and <code>setNClob</code> allow a programmer to 0N/A * access an SQL <code>NCLOB</code> value. In addition, this interface 0N/A * has methods for updating a <code>NCLOB</code> value. 0N/A * All methods on the <code>NClob</code> interface must be fully implemented if the 0N/A * JDBC driver supports the data type.
