Constructor Detail

Type

public Type(int type,
            long precision,
            boolean parameters)
Construct an instance, using the default name for the type
Parameters:
type - a type corresponding to one in java.sql.Types
precision - the precision of the type. A precision <= 0 indicates that the type has no precision
parameters - if true, denotes that the type takes parameters
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if type is invalid

Type

public Type(int type,
            java.lang.String name,
            long precision,
            boolean parameters)
Construct an instance specifying the database specific type name
Parameters:
type - a type corresponding to one in java.sql.Types
name - the RDBMS name of the type
precision - the precision of the type. A precision <= 0 indicates that the type has no precision
parameters - if true, denotes that the type takes parameters
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if type is invalid
