Accessing and Manipulating Oracle Data

This chapter describes data access in `oracle.sql.*` formats, as opposed to standard Java formats. As described in the previous chapter, the `oracle.sql.*` formats are a key factor of the Oracle JDBC extensions, offering significant advantages in efficiency and precision in manipulating SQL data.

Using `oracle.sql.*` formats involves casting your result sets and statements to `OracleResultSet`, `OracleStatement`, `OraclePreparedStatement`, and `OracleCallableStatement` objects, as appropriate, and using the `getOracleObject()`, `setOracleObject()`, `getXXX()`, and `setXXX()` methods of these classes (where `XXX` corresponds to the types in the `oracle.sql` package).

This chapter covers the following topics:

- Data Conversion Considerations

- Result Set and Statement Extensions

- Comparison of Oracle get and set Methods to Standard JDBC

- Using Result Set Meta Data Extensions
