Assignments

This section defines the rules for assignment between SQL data items whose datatypes are Java-SQL classes.

Each assignment transfers a source instance to a target data item:

NoteIf the source is a variable or parameter, then it is a reference to an object in the Java VM. If the source is a column reference, which contains a serialization, then the rules for column references (see Java-SQL column references) yield a reference to an object in the Java VM. Thus, the source is a reference to an object in the Java VM.
