Creating opaque types

About this task

Using UDT Manager, you can create a Java™ opaque type from an existing Java class that implements the SQLData interface. UDT Manager can also help you create a Java opaque type without requiring that you have the Java class ready; you specify the characteristics of the opaque type you want to create, and the UDT Manager facility creates the Java class and then the Java opaque type.

Follow the steps in this section to use the UDTManager classes.
