public interface ConcatableDataValue
extends DataValueDescriptor, VariableSizeDataValue

The ConcatableDataValue interface corresponds to the SQL 92 string value data type. It is implemented by datatypes that have a length, and can be concatenated. It is implemented by the character datatypes and the bit datatypes. The following methods are defined herein: charLength() The following is defined by the sub classes (bit and char) concatenate()
