public class RAW
extends Datum

The RAW class is a representation of the Oracle RAW datatype. It is intended to be immutable. The user should not try to change its contents once it is constructed.

Constructor Summary
`RAW(byte[] raw_bytes)` Construct a RAW from a byte array.
`RAW(java.lang.Object val)` Deprecated. in 9.2. The behavior of this constructor when passed a String argument will be changed in the next major release after 9.2. There will be no change in the behavior when passed an argument of any other type. The static methods newRAW and oldRAW capture the new and old behavior. It is deprecated only to warn of the impending change in behavior. The deprecation will be removed in the next major release after 9.2. The constructor will remain and will be supported. See release notes for more info.

Method Summary
`static byte[]`	`hexString2Bytes(java.lang.String hexString)` Converts a String of hex digits into a byte array with the corresponding byte values.
`boolean`	`isConvertibleTo(java.lang.Class jClass)` Test whether this data object can be converted to the specified Java data type.
`static RAW`	`newRAW(java.lang.Object obj)` Creates a new RAW from an Object in the manner of the RAW(Object) constructor beginning in the next major release after 9.2.
`static RAW`	`oldRAW(java.lang.Object obj)` Creates a new RAW from an Object in the manner of the RAW(Object) constructor in versions of Oracle JDBC 9.2 and earlier.
`java.lang.String`	`stringValue()` Convert this data object into a String.
`java.lang.Object`	`toJdbc()` Convert this data object into its default Java object type.

Constructor Detail

RAW

public RAW(byte[] raw_bytes)

Construct a RAW from a byte array.

Parameters:: raw_bytes - input data from which this class instance is constructed.

RAW

public RAW(java.lang.Object val)
    throws java.sql.SQLException

Deprecated. in 9.2. The behavior of this constructor when passed a String argument will be changed in the next major release after 9.2. There will be no change in the behavior when passed an argument of any other type. The static methods newRAW and oldRAW capture the new and old behavior. It is deprecated only to warn of the impending change in behavior. The deprecation will be removed in the next major release after 9.2. The constructor will remain and will be supported. See release notes for more info.

Construct a RAW from a Java object. The possible object types are java.lang.String and byte[].

Parameters:: raw_bytes - input data from which this class instance is constructed.

Method Detail

hexString2Bytes

public static byte[] hexString2Bytes(java.lang.String hexString)
                              throws java.sql.SQLException

Converts a String of hex digits into a byte array with the corresponding byte values.

Parameters:: hexString - A String of hex digits
Throws:: java.sql.SQLException - if one of the characters in the argument is not a hex digit

newRAW

public static RAW newRAW(java.lang.Object obj)
                  throws java.sql.SQLException

Creates a new RAW from an Object in the manner of the RAW(Object) constructor beginning in the next major release after 9.2. The only difference is if the argument is a String. This method assumes that the String consists of hex digits and returns a new RAW constructed from the bytes represented by those hex digits. If the argument is not a String then the behavior is the same as the RAW(Object) constructor.

In Oracle JDBC versions beginning in the next major release after 9.0 this is identical to RAW(Object). In versions 9.2 and earlier, it provides the functionality that will be provided in versions beginning in the next major release after 9.2

Note that the behavior of RAW(Object) when passed a String argument changed in the next major release after 9.2.

Parameters:: Object - used to create the new RAW value
Throws:: java.sql.SQLException - if the argument is a String and one of the characters is not a hex digit
See Also:: oldRAW

oldRAW

public static RAW oldRAW(java.lang.Object obj)
                  throws java.sql.SQLException

Creates a new RAW from an Object in the manner of the RAW(Object) constructor in versions of Oracle JDBC 9.2 and earlier. The only difference is if the argument is a String. This method returns a new RAW containing the bytes of the ISO8859_1 representation of the String argument. If the argument is not a String then it is the same as the RAW(Object) constructor.

In Oracle JDBC versions 9.2 and earlier this is identical to the RAW(Object) constructor. Beginning in the next major release after 9.2 it provides the functionality that previously was provided by that constructor.
