Parameters

values

An array of System.Object.

Return Value

System.Object is the root of all types and therefore can be used to retrieve any Teradata data type. The Data Provider maps the Teradata data types to .NET Framework types and returns references to the .NET Framework instance. It returns TdBlob and TdClob instances when BLOB and CLOB columns are retrieved in deferred mode.

GetValues is the most flexible field retrieval method. However all value types (for example, Int32) are boxed which results in higher resource utilization and are subject to garbage collection.

This method does not throw an exception for null database fields. It returns an instance of DBNull.

GetProviderSpecificValues supports sequential access by simply returning the remaining fields. It returns values for fields M through N where M is the last field retrieved plus one and N is either number of fields or the length of values, whichever is smaller. For example it would return values for fields 2 through 5 if the first field was already retrieved and there are 5 columns per row.
