/** represents an input stream that contains a stream of values representing an
    instance of a SQL structured or distinct type.


    <p>
    This interface, used only for custom mapping, is used by the driver
    behind the scenes, and a programmer never directly invokes
    <code>SQLInput</code>
    methods.
    </p>
    <p>
    When the method
    <code>getObject</code>
    is called with an object of a service implementing the interface
    <code>SQLData</code>
    , the SDBC driver calls the method
    com::sun::star::sdbc::XSQLData::getSQLType()
    to determine the SQL type of the user-defined type (UDT) being custom mapped.
    The driver creates an instance of
    com::sun::star::sdbc::XSQLInput
    ,
    populating it with the attributes of the UDT. The driver then passes the input
    stream to the method
    com::sun::star::sdbc::XSQLData::readSQL()
    , which in turn calls the
    <code>XSQLInput.readXXX</code>
    methods in its implementation for reading the attributes from the input stream.
