Creating UDT-to-Java Mappings

The routine manager needs a mapping between SQL data values and Java objects to be able to pass parameters to and retrieve return results from a UDR. The SQL to Java data-type mapping is performed according to the JDBC specification. For built-in SQL data types, the routine manager can use mappings to existing JDBC data types.

To create the mapping between a user-defined SQL data type and a Java object
  1. Create a user-defined class that implements the SQLData interface. (For more information, refer to the JDBC 2.0 specification).
  2. Bind this user-defined class to the user-defined SQL data type using the setUDTExtName built-in procedure.
