An OracleRef instance represents an Oracle REF, which references a persistent, standalone, referenceable object that resides in the database. The OracleRef object provides methods to insert, update, and delete the Oracle REF.

Requirements

Thread Safety

All public static methods are thread-safe, although instance methods do not guarantee thread safety.

Remarks

If two or more OracleRef objects that refer to the same Oracle object in the database are retrieved through the same OracleConnection, then their operations on the referenced object must be synchronized.
