/**
* The mapping in the Java™ programming language
* for the SQL {@code CLOB} type.
* An SQL {@code CLOB} is a built-in type
* that stores a Character Large Object as a column value in a row of
* a database table.
* By default drivers implement a {@code Clob} object using an SQL
* {@code locator(CLOB)}, which means that a {@code Clob} object
* contains a logical pointer to the SQL {@code CLOB} data rather than
* the data itself. A {@code Clob} object is valid for the duration
* of the transaction in which it was created.
* <P>The {@code Clob} interface provides methods for getting the
* length of an SQL {@code CLOB} (Character Large Object) value,
* for materializing a {@code CLOB} value on the client, and for
* searching for a substring or {@code CLOB} object within a
* {@code CLOB} value.
* Methods in the interfaces {@link ResultSet},
* {@link CallableStatement}, and {@link PreparedStatement}, such as
* {@code getClob} and {@code setClob} allow a programmer to
* access an SQL {@code CLOB} value. In addition, this interface
* has methods for updating a {@code CLOB} value.
* <p>
* All methods on the {@code Clob} interface must be
* fully implemented if the JDBC driver supports the data type.
