## Interface NClob

- All Superinterfaces:
    Clob

      public interface NClob
      extends Clob

  The mapping in the Java™ programming language for the SQL `NCLOB` type. An SQL `NCLOB` is a built-in type that stores a Character Large Object using the National Character Set as a column value in a row of a database table.

  The `NClob` interface extends the `Clob` interface which provides provides methods for getting the length of an SQL `NCLOB` value, for materializing a `NCLOB` value on the client, and for searching for a substring or `NCLOB` object within a `NCLOB` value. A `NClob` object, just like a `Clob` object, is valid for the duration of the transaction in which it was created. Methods in the interfaces `ResultSet`, `CallableStatement`, and `PreparedStatement`, such as `getNClob` and `setNClob` allow a programmer to access an SQL `NCLOB` value. In addition, this interface has methods for updating a `NCLOB` value.

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