public abstract void setNClob (int parameterIndex, Reader reader, long length) throws SQLException

Sets the designated parameter to a Reader object. The reader must contain the number of characters specified by length otherwise a SQLException will be generated when the PreparedStatement is executed. This method differs from the setCharacterStream (int, Reader, int) method because it informs the driver that the parameter value should be sent to the server as a NCLOB. When the setCharacterStream method is used, the driver may have to do extra work to determine whether the parameter data should be sent to the server as a LONGNVARCHAR or a NCLOB

Parameters:
parameterIndex    index of the first parameter is 1, the second is 2, ...
reader    An object that contains the data to set the parameter value to.
length    the number of characters in the parameter data.

Exceptions:
SQLException    if parameterIndex does not correspond to a parameter marker in the SQL statement; if the length specified is less than zero; if the driver does not support national character sets; if the driver can detect that a data conversion error could occur; if a database access error occurs or this method is called on a closed PreparedStatement
SQLFeatureNotSupportedException    if the JDBC driver does not support this method
