## Class JDBCArrayBasic

- java.lang.Object
- - org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCArrayBasic

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `java.sql.Array`

      public class JDBCArrayBasic
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements java.sql.Array

  The mapping in the Java programming language for the SQL type `ARRAY`. By default, an `Array` value is a transaction-duration reference to an SQL `ARRAY` value. By default, an `Array` object is implemented using an SQL LOCATOR(array) internally, which means that an `Array` object contains a logical pointer to the data in the SQL `ARRAY` value rather than containing the `ARRAY` value's data.

  The `Array` interface provides methods for bringing an SQL `ARRAY` value's data to the client as either an array or a `ResultSet` object. If the elements of the SQL `ARRAY` are a UDT, they may be custom mapped. To create a custom mapping, a programmer must do two things:

  - create a class that implements the `SQLData` interface for the UDT to be custom mapped.
  - make an entry in a type map that contains
    - the fully-qualified SQL type name of the UDT
    - the `Class` object for the class implementing `SQLData`

  When a type map with an entry for the base type is supplied to the methods `getArray` and `getResultSet`, the mapping it contains will be used to map the elements of the `ARRAY` value. If no type map is supplied, which would typically be the case, the connection's type map is used by default. If the connection's type map or a type map supplied to a method has no entry for the base type, the elements are mapped according to the standard mapping.

  All methods on the `Array` interface must be fully implemented if the JDBC driver supports the data type.

      Public constructor to create an Array object from an Object[] and an HSQLDB org.hsqldb.types.Type object.
      Parameters:
        `data` - the Object[]
        `type` - the HSQLDB org.hsqldb.types.Type object

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getBaseTypeName

          public java.lang.String getBaseTypeName()
                                           throws java.sql.SQLException

      Retrieves the SQL type name of the elements in the array designated by this `Array` object. If the elements are a built-in type, it returns the database-specific type name of the elements. If the elements are a user-defined type (UDT), this method returns the fully-qualified SQL type name.
      Specified by:
        `getBaseTypeName` in interface `java.sql.Array`
      Returns:
        a `String` that is the database-specific name for a built-in base type; or the fully-qualified SQL type name for a base type that is a UDT
      Throws:
        `java.sql.SQLException` - if an error occurs while attempting to access the type name
      Since:
        JDK 1.2

    - #### getBaseType

          public int getBaseType()
                          throws java.sql.SQLException

      Retrieves the JDBC type of the elements in the array designated by this `Array` object.
      Specified by:
        `getBaseType` in interface `java.sql.Array`
      Returns:

          public java.lang.Object getArray()

      Retrieves the contents of the SQL `ARRAY` value designated by this `Array` object in the form of an array in the Java programming language. This version of the method `getArray` uses the type map associated with the connection for customizations of the type mappings.

      Note: When `getArray` is used to materialize a base type that maps to a primitive data type, then it is implementation-defined whether the array returned is an array of that primitive data type or an array of `Object`.

      HSQLDB-Specific Information:

      HSQLDB always returns an array of `Object`.
      Specified by:
        `getArray` in interface `java.sql.Array`
      Returns:

      Retrieves the contents of the SQL `ARRAY` value designated by this `Array` object. This method uses the specified `map` for type map customizations unless the base type of the array does not match a user-defined type in `map`, in which case it uses the standard mapping. This version of the method `getArray` uses either the given type map or the standard mapping; it never uses the type map associated with the connection.

                                          throws java.sql.SQLException

      Retrieves a result set holding the elements of the subarray that starts at index `index` and contains up to `count` successive elements. This method uses the specified `map` for type map customizations unless the base type of the array does not match a user-defined type in `map`, in which case it uses the standard mapping.

                    throws java.sql.SQLException

      This method frees the `Array` object and releases the resources that it holds. The object is invalid once the `free` method is called.

      After `free` has been called, any attempt to invoke a method other than `free` will result in a `SQLException` being thrown. If `free` is called multiple times, the subsequent calls to `free` are treated as a no-op.

      Specified by:
        `free` in interface `java.sql.Array`
      Throws:
