Interface XQDataFactory

public interface XQDataFactory

This interface represents a factory to obtain sequences, item objects and types.

The items, sequences and types obtained through this interface are independent of any connection.

The items and sequences created are immutable. The close method can be called to close the item or sequence and release all resources associated with this item or sequence.
