/**
 * An input stream used for custom mapping user-defined types (UDTs).
 * An <code>SQLInputImpl</code> object is an input stream that contains a
 * stream of values that are the attributes of a UDT.
 * <p>
 * This class is used by the driver behind the scenes when the method
 * <code>getObject</code> is called on an SQL structured or distinct type
 * that has a custom mapping; a programmer never invokes
 * <code>SQLInputImpl</code> methods directly. They are provided here as a
 * convenience for those who write <code>RowSet</code> implementations.
 * <P>
 * The <code>SQLInputImpl</code> class provides a set of
 * reader methods analogous to the <code>ResultSet</code> getter
 * methods.  These methods make it possible to read the values in an
 * <code>SQLInputImpl</code> object.
 * <P>
 * The method <code>wasNull</code> is used to determine whether the
 * the last value read was SQL <code>NULL</code>.
 * <P>When the method <code>getObject</code> is called with an
 * object of a class implementing the interface <code>SQLData</code>,
 * the JDBC driver calls the method <code>SQLData.getSQLType</code>
 * to determine the SQL type of the UDT being custom mapped. The driver
 * creates an instance of <code>SQLInputImpl</code>, populating it with the
 * attributes of the UDT.  The driver then passes the input
 * stream to the method <code>SQLData.readSQL</code>, which in turn
 * calls the <code>SQLInputImpl</code> reader methods
 * to read the attributes from the input stream.
