31: * The mapping in the Java<sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup> programming language
32: * for the SQL <code>NCLOB</code> type.
33: * An SQL <code>NCLOB</code> is a built-in type
34: * that stores a Character Large Object using the National Character Set
35: * as a column value in a row of a database table.
36: * <P>The <code>NClob</code> interface extends the <code>Clob</code> interface
37: * which provides provides methods for getting the
38: * length of an SQL <code>NCLOB</code> value,
39: * for materializing a <code>NCLOB</code> value on the client, and for
40: * searching for a substring or <code>NCLOB</code> object within a
41: * <code>NCLOB</code> value. A <code>NClob</code> object, just like a <code>Clob</code> object, is valid for the duration
42: * of the transaction in which it was created.
43: * Methods in the interfaces {@link ResultSet},
44: * {@link CallableStatement}, and {@link PreparedStatement}, such as
45: * <code>getNClob</code> and <code>setNClob</code> allow a programmer to
46: * access an SQL <code>NCLOB</code> value. In addition, this interface
47: * has methods for updating a <code>NCLOB</code> value.
48: * <p>
49: * All methods on the <code>NClob</code> interface must be fully implemented if the
50: * JDBC driver supports the data type.
