# CustomDataTypesHandler Custom data type handler Provides means to plug-in custom data types support Please keep in mind that this feature may not possibly provide the same ABI stability level as other features as it exposes many of the H2 internals. You may be required to update your code occasionally due to internal changes in H2 if you are going to use this feature
Methods
Value | convert(Value source, int targetType) Convert the provided source value into value of given target data type Shall implement conversions to and from custom data types.
Value | convert(Value source, int targetType) Convert the provided source value into value of given target data type Shall implement conversions to and from custom data types. Parameters: source - source value targetType - identifier of target data type Returns: converted value
int | getAddProofType(int type) Get compatible type identifier that would not overflow after many add operations.

Value | getValue(int type, Object data, DataHandler dataHandler) Get
Value | getValue(int type, Object data, DataHandler dataHandler) Get {@link org.h2.value.Value} object corresponding to given data type identifier and data. Parameters: type - custom data type identifier data - underlying data type value dataHandler - data handler object Returns: Value object
boolean | supportsAdd(int type) Checks if type supports add operation
boolean | supportsAdd(int type) Checks if type supports add operation Parameters: type - custom data type identifier Returns: True, if custom data type supports add operation
