Constructs a new
SerialArray object from the given
Array object, using the given type map for the custom mapping of each element when the elements are SQL UDTs.
This method does custom mapping if the array elements are a UDT and the given type map has an entry for that UDT. Custom mapping is recursive, meaning that if, for instance, an element of an SQL structured type is an SQL structured type that itself has an element that is an SQL structured type, each structured type that has a custom mapping will be mapped according to the given type map.
The new SerialArray object contains the same elements as the Array object from which it is built, except when the base type is the SQL type STRUCT, ARRAY, BLOB, CLOB, DATALINK or JAVA_OBJECT. In this case, each element in the new SerialArray object is the appropriate serialized form, that is, a SerialStruct, SerialArray, SerialBlob, SerialClob, SerialDatalink, or SerialJavaObject object.
Note: (1) The Array object from which a SerialArray object is created must have materialized the SQL ARRAY value's data on the client before it is passed to the constructor. Otherwise, the new SerialArray object will contain no data.
Note: (2) If the Array contains java.sql.Types.JAVA_OBJECT types, the SerialJavaObject constructor is called where checks are made to ensure this object is serializable.
Note: (3) The Array object supplied to this constructor cannot return null for any Array.getArray() methods. SerialArray cannot serialize null array values.
