                    throws SQLException

Retrieves a copy of the specified substring in the CLOB value designated by this Clob object. The substring begins at position pos and has up to length consecutive characters.

Specified by:

getSubString in interface Clob

Parameters:

pos - the first character of the substring to be extracted. The first character is at position 1.

length - the number of consecutive characters to be copied

a String that is the specified substring in the CLOB value designated by this Clob object

Throws:

SQLException - if there is an error accessing the CLOB value

Since:

1.2

position

public long position(String searchstr,
                     long start)
              throws SQLException

Retrieves the character position at which the specified substring searchstr appears in the SQL CLOB value represented by this Clob object. The search begins at position start.

Specified by:

position in interface Clob

Parameters:

searchstr - the substring for which to search

start - the position at which to begin searching; the first position is 1

Returns:

the position at which the substring appears or -1 if it is not present; the first position is 1

Throws:

SQLException - if there is an error accessing the CLOB value

Since:

1.2

position

public long position(Clob searchstr,
                     long start)
              throws SQLException

Retrieves the character position at which the specified Clob object searchstr appears in this Clob object. The search begins at position start.

Specified by:

position in interface Clob

Parameters:

searchstr - the Clob object for which to search

start - the position at which to begin searching; the first position is 1

Returns:

the position at which the Clob object appears or -1 if it is not present; the first position is 1

Throws:

SQLException - if there is an error accessing the CLOB value

Since:

1.2
