OracleRef (Oracle Database JDBC Java API Reference)

All Superinterfaces:

Ref

All Known Implementing Classes:

REF
```
public interface OracleRef
extends Ref
```
This interface defines the Oracle extensions to the standard JDBC interface Ref.
Generally any new code should avoid the direct use of the class REF. For variable declarations use the interface Ref or this interface as required.

Obtaining java.sql.Ref from ResultSet
java.sql.Ref ref = resultSet.getRef(...);
There is no way to create Ref on the client side.
