  /**
   * The mapping in the Java<sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup> programming language
   * for the SQL <code>NCLOB</code> type.
   * An SQL <code>NCLOB</code> 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 <code>NClob</code> interface extends the <code>Clob</code> interface
   * which provides provides methods for getting the
   * length of an SQL <code>NCLOB</code> value,
   * for materializing a <code>NCLOB</code> value on the client, and for
   * searching for a substring or <code>NCLOB</code> object within a
   * <code>NCLOB</code> value. A <code>NClob</code> object, just like a <code>Clob</code> 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</code> and <code>setNClob</code> allow a programmer to
   * access an SQL <code>NCLOB</code> value.  In addition, this interface
   * has methods for updating a <code>NCLOB</code> value.
   * <p>
   * All methods on the <code>NClob</code> interface must be fully implemented if the
   * JDBC driver supports the data type.
   *
