Comparison and casting functions for structured types
Constructor functions for structured types
When you create a structured type, DB2® for Linux, UNIX, and Windows creates
a function of the same name as the type is created. This function
has no parameters and returns an instance of the type with all of
its attributes set to null.
Observer methods for structured types
An observer method exists for each attribute of an object.
If the method for an attribute receives an object of the expected
type or subtype, the method returns the value of the attribute for
that object.
