Sets the value of the designated parameter with the given object.

The JDBC specification specifies a standard mapping from Java Object types to SQL types. The given argument will be converted to the corresponding SQL type before being sent to the database.

Note that this method may be used to pass database- specific abstract data types, by using a driver-specific Java type. If the object is of a class implementing the interface SQLData, the JDBC driver should call the method SQLData.writeSQL to write it to the SQL data stream. If, on the other hand, the object is of a class implementing Ref, Blob, Clob, NClob, Struct, java.net.URL, or Array, the driver should pass it to the database as a value of the corresponding SQL type.

This method throws an exception if there is an ambiguity, for example, if the object is of a class implementing more than one of the interfaces named above.

Note: Not all databases allow for a non-typed Null to be sent to the backend. For maximum portability, the setNull or the setObject(String parameterName, Object x, int sqlType) method should be used instead of setObject(String parameterName, Object x).

Parameters:

parameterName		the name of the parameter
x		the object containing the input parameter value

Exceptions:

SQLException		if parameterName does not correspond to a named parameter; if a database access error occurs, this method is called on a closed CallableStatement or if the given Object parameter is ambiguous
SQLFeatureNotSupportedException		if the JDBC driver does not support this method
