Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
EXPLICIT	The database does define and support distinct SQL types for representing nationalized character data, typically named NCHAR, NVARCHAR, and NCLOB.
IMPLICIT	The CHAR, VARCHAR, and CLOB types inherently handle nationalized character data.
UNSUPPORTED	The database does not even have support for nationalized character data.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description

int	getVarcharVariantCode()
static NationalizationSupport	valueOf(String name)	Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
static NationalizationSupport[]	values()	Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

Enum Constant Detail

IMPLICIT

public static final NationalizationSupport IMPLICIT

The CHAR, VARCHAR, and CLOB types inherently handle nationalized character data. Usually the database will not even define dedicated nationalized data types like NVARCHAR.

EXPLICIT

public static final NationalizationSupport EXPLICIT

The database does define and support distinct SQL types for representing nationalized character data, typically named NCHAR, NVARCHAR, and NCLOB.

UNSUPPORTED

public static final NationalizationSupport UNSUPPORTED

The database does not even have support for nationalized character data.

Method Detail

values

public static NationalizationSupport[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (NationalizationSupport c : NationalizationSupport.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static NationalizationSupport valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
