  interface
  SQLInput
  
  
  
| java.sql.SQLInput | 
An input stream that contains a stream of values representing an
 instance of an SQL structured type or an SQL distinct type.
 This interface, used only for custom mapping, is used by the driver
 behind the scenes, and a programmer never directly invokes
 SQLInput methods. The reader methods
 (readLong, readBytes, and so on)
 provide a way  for an implementation of the SQLData
  interface to read the values in an SQLInput object.
  And as described in SQLData, calls to reader methods must
 be made in the order that their corresponding attributes appear in the
 SQL definition of the type.
 The method wasNull is used to determine whether
 the last value read was SQL NULL.
 
When the method getObject is called with an
 object of a class implementing the interface SQLData,
 the JDBC driver calls the method SQLData.getSQLType
 to determine the SQL type of the user-defined type (UDT)
 being custom mapped. The driver
 creates an instance of SQLInput, populating it with the
 attributes of the UDT.  The driver then passes the input
 stream to the method SQLData.readSQL, which in turn
 calls the SQLInput reader methods
 in its implementation for reading the
 attributes from the input stream.

public abstract Object readObject ()
Reads the datum at the head of the stream and returns it as an
 Object in the Java programming language.  The
 actual type of the object returned is determined by the default type
 mapping, and any customizations present in this stream's type map.
 
A type map is registered with the stream by the JDBC driver before the stream is passed to the application.
When the datum at the head of the stream is an SQL NULL,
 the method returns null.  If the datum is an SQL structured or distinct
 type, it determines the SQL type of the datum at the head of the stream.
 If the stream's type map has an entry for that SQL type, the driver
 constructs an object of the appropriate class and calls the method
 SQLData.readSQL on that object, which reads additional data from the
 stream, using the protocol described for that method.
