public interface OracleClob

This interface extends the standard JDBC interface Clob and defines methods for Oracle specific Clob .

Generally any new code should avoid the direct use of the class CLOB. For variable declarations use the interface Clob or this interface as required. Instead of the static methods CLOB.createTemporary(java.sql.Connection, boolean, int) and CLOB.empty_lob() please use Connection.createClob() and CLOB.getEmptyCLOB() respectively.
