/**
 * The mapping in the Java™ programming language
 * for the SQL <code>NCLOB type.
 * An SQL <code>NCLOB is a built-in type
 * that stores a Character Large Object using the National Character Set
 *  as a column value in a row of  a database table.
 * <P>The NClob interface extends the Clob interface
 * which provides provides methods for getting the
 * length of an SQL <code>NCLOB value,
 * for materializing a <code>NCLOB value on the client, and for
 * searching for a substring or <code>NCLOB object within a
 * <code>NCLOB value. A NClob object, just like a Clob object, is valid for the duration
 * of the transaction in which it was created.
 * Methods in the interfaces {@link ResultSet},
 * {@link CallableStatement}, and {@link PreparedStatement}, such as
 * <code>getNClob and setNClob allow a programmer to
 * access an SQL <code>NCLOB value.  In addition, this interface
 * has methods for updating a <code>NCLOB value.
 * <p>
 * All methods on the <code>NClob interface must be fully implemented if the
 * JDBC driver supports the data type.
 *
 * @since 1.6
