Working with Oracle Object Types

This chapter describes JDBC support for user-defined object types. It discusses functionality of the generic, weakly typed oracle.sql.STRUCT class, as well as how to map to custom Java classes that implement either the JDBC standard SQLData interface or the Oracle CustomDatum interface. The following topics are covered:

• Mapping Oracle Objects

• Using the Default STRUCT Class for Oracle Objects

• Creating and Using Custom Object Classes for Oracle Objects

• Using JPublisher to Create Custom Object Classes

• Describing an Object Type

  Note: For general information about Oracle object features and functionality, see the Oracle8i Application Developer's Guide - Object-Relational Features.
