An SQL ROWID is a built-in type, a value of which can be thought of as 0N/A * an address for its identified row in a database table. Whether that address 0N/A * is logical or, in any respects, physical is determined by its originating data 0N/A * Methods in the interfaces <code>ResultSet</code>, <code>CallableStatement</code>, 0N/A * and <code>PreparedStatement</code>, such as <code>getRowId</code> and <code>setRowId</code> 0N/A * allow a programmer to access a SQL <code>ROWID</code> value. The <code>RowId</code> 0N/A * interface provides a method 0N/A * for representing the value of the <code>ROWID</code> as a byte array or as a 0N/A * <code>String</code>. 0N/A * The method <code>getRowIdLifetime</code> in the interface <code>DatabaseMetaData</code>, 0N/A * to determine if a <code>RowId</code> object remains valid for the duration of the transaction in 0N/A * which the <code>RowId</code> was created, the duration of the session in which 0N/A * the <code>RowId</code> was created, 0N/A * or, effectively, for as long as its identified row is not deleted. In addition 0N/A * to specifying the duration of its valid lifetime outside its originating data 0N/A * source, <code>getRowIdLifetime</code> specifies the duration of a <code>ROWID</code> 0N/A * value's valid lifetime 0N/A * within its originating data source. In this, it differs from a large object, 0N/A * because there is no limit on the valid lifetime of a large object within its 0N/A * originating data source. 0N/A * All methods on the <code>RowId</code> interface must be fully implemented if the 0N/A * JDBC driver supports the data type. 0N/A * @see java.sql.DatabaseMetaData 0N/A * Compares this <code>RowId</code> to the specified object. The result is 0N/A * <code>true</code> if and only if the argument is not null and is a RowId 0N/A * object that represents the same ROWID as this object. 0N/A * to consider both the origin and the valid lifetime of a <code>RowId</code> 0N/A * when comparing it to another <code>RowId</code>. If both are valid, and 0N/A * both are from the same table on the same data source, then if they are equal 0N/A * the same row; if one or more is no longer guaranteed to be valid, or if 0N/A * they originate from different data sources, or different tables on the 0N/A * same data source, they may be equal but still 0N/A * not identify the same row. 0N/A * @param obj the <code>Object</code> to compare this <code>RowId</code> object 0N/A * @return true if the <code>RowId</code>s are equal; false otherwise 0N/A * Returns an array of bytes representing the value of the SQL <code>ROWID</code> 0N/A * designated by this <code>java.sql.RowId</code> object. 0N/A * @return an array of bytes, whose length is determined by the driver supplying 0N/A * the connection, representing the value of the ROWID designated by this 0N/A * java.sql.RowId object. 0N/A * Returns a String representing the value of the SQL ROWID designated by this 0N/A * <code>java.sql.RowId</code> object. 0N/A *Like <code>java.sql.Date.toString()</code> 0N/A * returns the contents of its DATE as the <code>String</code> "2004-03-17" 0N/A * rather than as DATE literal in SQL (which would have been the <code>String</code> 0N/A * DATE "2004-03-17"), toString() 0N/A * returns the contents of its ROWID in a form specific to the driver supplying 0N/A * the connection, and possibly not as a <code>ROWID</code> literal. 0N/A * @return a String whose format is determined by the driver supplying the 0N/A * connection, representing the value of the <code>ROWID</code> designated 0N/A * by this <code>java.sql.RowId</code> object. 0N/A * Returns a hash code value of this <code>RowId</code> object. 0N/A * @return a hash code for the <code>RowId</code>
