/**
 *
 * The representation (mapping) in the Java programming language of an SQL ROWID
 * value. An SQL ROWID is a built-in type, a value of which can be thought of as
 * an address  for its identified row in a database table. Whether that address
 * is logical or, in any  respects, physical is determined by its originating data
 * source.
 * <p>
 * Methods in the interfaces <code>ResultSet</code>, <code>CallableStatement</code>,
 * and <code>PreparedStatement</code>, such as <code>getRowId</code> and <code>setRowId</code>
 * allow a programmer to access a SQL <code>ROWID</code>  value. The <code>RowId</code>
 * interface provides a method
 * for representing the value of the <code>ROWID</code> as a byte array or as a
 * <code>String</code>.
 * <p>
 * The method <code>getRowIdLifetime</code> in the interface <code>DatabaseMetaData</code>,
 * can be used
 * to determine if a <code>RowId</code> object remains valid for the duration of the transaction in
 * which  the <code>RowId</code> was created, the duration of the session in which
 * the <code>RowId</code> was created,
 * or, effectively, for as long as its identified row is not deleted. In addition
 * to specifying the duration of its valid lifetime outside its originating data
 * source, <code>getRowIdLifetime</code> specifies the duration of a <code>ROWID</code>
 * value's valid lifetime
 * within its originating data source. In this, it differs from a large object,
 * because there is no limit on the valid lifetime of a large  object within its
 * originating data source.
 * <p>
 * All methods on the <code>RowId</code> interface must be fully implemented if the
 * JDBC driver supports the data type.
 *
 * @see java.sql.DatabaseMetaData

     * <p>
     * It is important
     * to consider both the origin and the valid lifetime of a <code>RowId</code>
     * when comparing it to another <code>RowId</code>. If both are valid, and
     * both are from the same table on the same data source, then if they are equal
     * they identify
     * the same row; if one or more is no longer guaranteed to be valid, or if
