Interface RowSetWriter

public interface RowSetWriter

An object that implements the `RowSetWriter` interface, called a writer. A writer may be registered with a `RowSet` object that supports the reader/writer paradigm.

If a disconnected `RowSet` object modifies some of its data, and it has a writer associated with it, it may be implemented so that it calls on the writer's `writeData` method internally to write the updates back to the data source. In order to do this, the writer must first establish a connection with the rowset's data source.

If the data to be updated has already been changed in the data source, there is a conflict, in which case the writer will not write the changes to the data source. The algorithm the writer uses for preventing or limiting conflicts depends entirely on its implementation.

Since:
  1.4

Method Summary
`boolean` | `writeData(RowSetInternal caller)` Writes the changes in this `RowSetWriter` object's rowset back to the data source from which it got its data.

Method Detail

### writeData

    public boolean writeData(RowSetInternal caller)
                      throws SQLException

  Writes the changes in this `RowSetWriter` object's rowset back to the data source from which it got its data.

  Parameters:
    `caller` - the `RowSet` object (1) that has implemented the `RowSetInternal` interface, (2) with which this writer is registered, and (3) that called this method internally
  Returns:
    `true` if the modified data was written; `false` if not, which will be the case if there is a conflict
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs
