Parameters

Return Value

SQLServerException

Remarks

This getString method is specified by the getString method in the java.sql.ResultSet interface.

All columns in SQL Server can be returned as a string. This means that a string representation of all number-based and character-based types, and a hex-string representation of binary columns such as binary, varbinary, varbinary(max), image, timestamp, and uniqueidentifier, can be returned.

Location sensitive types such as money, smallmoney, datetime, smalldatetime, float, real, decimal, and numeric will return the canonical toString() format for the underlying value of the type.

User defined types are returned as hexadecimal string values.
