java.sql.Ref
A manifestation of the SQL REF type - a reference to an SQL type contained in
the database.
The SQL REF's are held in a table along with SQL structured types. Every REF
has an individual identifier for each single instance. The SQL REF is used
instead of the structured type it references.
A Ref object is stored into the database using the PreparedStatement.setRef
method.
