Using text data

In earlier versions, jConnect used a TextPointer class with sendData methods for updating a text column in an Adaptive Server or SQL Anywhere database.

The TextPointer class has been deprecated, that is, it is no longer recommended and may cease to exist in a future version of Java.

If your data server is Adaptive Server 12.5 or later or SQL Anywhere version 6.05 or later, use the standard JDBC form to send text data:

PreparedStatement.setAsciiStream(int paramIndex,

  InputStream text, int length)

or

PreparedStatement.setUnicodeStream(int paramIndex,

  InputStream text, int length)

or

PreparedStatement.setCharacterStream(int paramIndex,

  Reader reader, int length)
