Type Support

This chapter documents datatypes supported by Oracle SQLJ, listing supported SQL types and the Java types that correspond to them, including information about backwards compatibility to Oracle8 and Oracle7. This is followed by details about support for streams and Oracle type extensions. SQLJ "support" of Java types refers to types that can be used in host expressions.

For information about Oracle SQLJ support for user-defined types--SQL objects, object references, and collections--see Chapter 6, "Objects and Collections".

This chapter covers the following topics:

• Supported Types for Host Expressions

• Support for Streams

• Oracle Type Extensions
