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

  Gets the value of the designated column index in the current row of this [SQLServerResultSet](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverresultset-class.md) object as an object in the Java programming language.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
public java.lang.Object getObject(int columnIndex)  
```  
  
#### Parameters  
 *columnIndex*  
  
 An **int** that indicates the column index.  
  
## Return Value  
 An **Object** value.  
  
## Exceptions  
 [SQLServerException](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverexception-class.md)  
  
## Remarks  
 This getObject method is specified by the getObject method in the java.sql.ResultSet interface.  
  
 This method will return the value of the given column as a Java object. The type of the Java object will be the default Java object type corresponding to the SQL type of the column, following the mapping for built-in types that is specified in the JDBC specification. If the value is an SQL NULL, the driver returns a Java null.  
  
 This method can also be used to read database-specific abstract data types. In the JDBC 2.0 API, the behavior of the getObject method is extended to materialize data of SQL user-defined types. When a column contains a structured or distinct value, the behavior of this method is as if it were a call to `getObject(columnIndex, this.getStatement().getConnection().getTypeMap())`.  
  
 Beginning in the [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] JDBC Driver 3.0:  
  
-   A value of type date will be returned as a java.sql.Date object.  
  
-   A value of type time will be returned as a java.sql.Time object.  
  
-   A value of type datetime2 will be returned as a java.sql.Timestamp object.  
  
-   A value of type datetimeoffset will be returned as a microsoft.sql.DateTimeOffset object.
