The Java default data type mapping for the individual fields of a temp-table is different than for non-temp-table parameters, to conform to the JDBC standard. The following table shows the mappings.
| Progress data type | Java data type |
|---|---|
BLOB
|
java.sql.Blob
Or
Note: For an
INPUT temp-table, you can supply either of
the two object types shown above. For output, your application can access a BLOB by
calling any of three methods: getBlob() which returns a java.sql.Blob, getBytes()
which returns a byte[ ], or getObject() which returns a
java.sql.Blob. |
CHARACTER
|
java.lang.String
|
CLOB
|
java.sql.Clob
Or
Note: For an
INPUT temp-table, you can supply either of the two object types
shown above. For output, your application can access a CLOB by calling any of three
methods: getClob() which returns a java.sql.Clob, getString() which returns a
java.lang.String, or getObject() which returns a java.sql.Clob. |
COM-HANDLE
|
Long
|
DATE
|
java.sql.DateOrjava.util.GregorianCalendar Note: For an INPUT temp-table, you
can supply either of the two object types shown above. For output,
your application can access a date by calling any of three methods:
getDate() which returns a java.sql.Date, getGregorianCalendar()
which returns a java.util.GregorianCalendar, or getObject() which returns a java.sql.Date. |
DATETIME
|
java.sql.Timestamp
Or
Note: For an INPUT temp-table, you can supply either of the
two object types shown above. For output, your application can access a datetime by
calling any of three methods: getTimestamp() which returns a java.sql.Timestamp,
getGregorianCalendar() which returns a java.util.GregorianCalendar, or getObject()
which returns a java.sql.Timestamp. |
DATETIME-TZ

Note: The column order for
ResultSet objects going between a Java Open Client and the application server
always is the default field order (physical position of the fields in the table). Normally,
temp-tables have the same default field order (_order) and
user-defined field order (_field-rpos). However, if the
temp-table is defined using the LIKE option for a database
table, and the database table has set the user-defined field order to be different than the
default field order, the Java client sees the fields in the default field order, not the
user-defined field order. To avoid this, define the temp-table with the individual fields
LIKE the database table fields, instead of defining the
whole temp-table LIKE the database table.
