+ − 31 * The mapping in the Java<sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup> programming language
+ − 32 * for the SQL <code>NCLOB</code> type.
+ − 33 * An SQL <code>NCLOB</code> is a built-in type
+ − 34 * that stores a Character Large Object using the National Character Set
+ − 35 * as a column value in a row of a database table.
+ − 36 * <P>The <code>NClob</code> interface extends the <code>Clob</code> interface
+ − 37 * which provides provides methods for getting the
+ − 38 * length of an SQL <code>NCLOB</code> value,
+ − 39 * for materializing a <code>NCLOB</code> value on the client, and for
+ − 40 * searching for a substring or <code>NCLOB</code> object within a
+ − 41 * <code>NCLOB</code> value. A <code>NClob</code> object, just like a <code>Clob</code> object, is valid for the duration
+ − 42 * of the transaction in which it was created.
+ − 43 * Methods in the interfaces {@link ResultSet},
+ − 44 * {@link CallableStatement}, and {@link PreparedStatement}, such as
+ − 45 * <code>getNClob</code> and <code>setNClob</code> allow a programmer to
+ − 46 * access an SQL <code>NCLOB</code> value. In addition, this interface
+ − 47 * has methods for updating a <code>NCLOB</code> value.
+ − 48 * <p>
+ − 49 * All methods on the <code>NClob</code> interface must be fully implemented if the
+ − 50 * JDBC driver supports the data type.
