| This interface represents an SQL Ref - a data object containing a cursor
or pointer to a result table.
The data structure identified by an instance of Ref is held in the
database, so the data is not necessarily read and converted
into a Java object until {@code getObject} is called. However, if
the database supports the {@code Ref} type, it is not typically
necessary to get the underlying object before using it in a method call -
the {@code Ref} object can be used in place of the data structure.
A {@code Ref} object is stored into the database using the
{@link PreparedStatement#setRef(int, Ref)} method. |
