A data type corresponding to JDBC's Types.ROWID
.
In certain RDBMS, referencing a row by its ROWID
may be quicker than looking it up by a primary key. This can be particularly useful when self joining a table in a Merge
statement and comparing the two versions of the table by ROWID
.
Instances can be created using Table.rowid()
.
