Overview of Java data streams

OceanBase Connector/J supports two-way data stream operations between the server and the client.

The driver supports conversion between the following types of data streams:

• Binary bits

  Applies to RAW bytes and corresponds to the getBinaryStream method.

• ASCII

  Applies to ASCII bytes in ISO-8859-1 encoding and corresponds to the getAsciiStream method.

• Unicode

  Applies to Unicode bytes in UTF-16 encoding and corresponds to the getUnicodeStream method.

The getBinaryStream, getAsciiStream, and getUnicodeStream methods return the bytes in the InputStream object.
