# getBytes Method (SQLServerResultSet)
[!INCLUDE[Driver_JDBC_Download](../../../includes/driver_jdbc_download.md)]

  Retrieves the value of the designated column in the current row of this [SQLServerResultSet](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverresultset-class.md) object as a **byte** array in the Java programming language.  
  
## Overload List  
  
|Name|Description|  
|----------|-----------------|  
|[getBytes (int)](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/getbytes-method-int-sqlserverresultset.md)|Retrieves the value of the designated column index in the current row of this [SQLServerResultSet](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverresultset-class.md) object as a **byte** array in the Java programming language.|  
|[getBytes (java.lang.String)](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/getbytes-method-java-lang-string-sqlserverresultset.md)|Retrieves the value of the designated column name in the current row of this [SQLServerResultSet](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverresultset-class.md) object as a **byte** array in the Java programming language.|  
  
## Remarks  
 In a previous version of the [!INCLUDE[jdbcNoVersion](../../../includes/jdbcnoversion_md.md)], you could use SQLServerResultSet.getBytes to convert values between byte arrays and [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] data type **date**, **time**, **datetime2**, or **datetimeoffset**. Now, using this method with those data types will cause an exception indicating that the conversion is not supported.
