/**
 * The mapping in the Java programming language
 * for the SQL {@code CLOB} type.
 * An SQL {@code CLOB} is a built-in type
 * that stores a Character Large Object as a column value in a row of
 * a database table.
 * By default drivers implement a {@code Clob} object using an SQL
 * {@code locator(CLOB)}, which means that a {@code Clob} object
 * contains a logical pointer to the SQL {@code CLOB} data rather than
 * the data itself. A {@code Clob} object is valid for the duration
 * of the transaction in which it was created.
 * <P>The {@code Clob} interface provides methods for getting the
 * length of an SQL {@code CLOB} (Character Large Object) value,
 * for materializing a {@code CLOB} value on the client, and for
 * searching for a substring or {@code CLOB} object within a
 * {@code CLOB} value.
 * Methods in the interfaces {@link java.sql.ResultSet},
 * {@link java.sql.CallableStatement}, and {@link java.sql.PreparedStatement}, such as
 * {@code getClob} and {@code setClob} allow a programmer to
 * access an SQL {@code CLOB} value.  In addition, this interface
 * has methods for updating a {@code CLOB} value.
 * <p>
 * All methods on the {@code Clob} interface must be
 * fully implemented if the JDBC driver supports the data type.
 *
 * <!-- start Release-specific documentation -->
 * <div class="ReleaseSpecificDocumentation">
 * <p class="rshead">HSQLDB-Specific Information:</p>
 *
 * Previous to 2.0, the HSQLDB driver did not implement Clob using an SQL
 * locator(CLOB).  That is, an HSQLDB Clob object did not contain a logical
 * pointer to SQL CLOB data; rather it directly contained a representation of
 * the data (a String). As a result, an HSQLDB Clob object was itself
 * valid beyond the duration of the transaction in which is was created,
 * although it did not necessarily represent a corresponding value
 * on the database. Also, the interface methods for updating a CLOB value
 * were unsupported, with the exception of the truncate method,
 * in that it could be used to truncate the local value. <p>
 *
 * Starting with 2.0, the HSQLDB driver fully supports both local and remote
 * SQL CLOB data implementations, meaning that an HSQLDB Clob object <em>may</em>
 * contain a logical pointer to remote SQL CLOB data (see {@link JDBCClobClient
 * JDBCClobClient}) or it may directly contain a local representation of the
 * data (as implemented in this class).  In particular, when the product is built
 * under JDK 1.6+ and the Clob instance is constructed as a result of calling
 * JDBCConnection.createClob(), then the resulting Clob instance is initially
 * disconnected (is not bound to the transaction scope of the vending Connection
 * object), the data is contained directly and all interface methods for
 * updating the CLOB value are supported for local use until the first
 * invocation of free(); otherwise, an HSQLDB Clob's implementation is
 * determined at runtime by the driver, it is typically not valid beyond
 * the duration of the transaction in which is was created, and there no
 * standard way to query whether it represents a local or remote value.
