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 JDBC 2.0, the behavior of the getObject method was 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. ## See Also [getObject Method (SQLServerCallableStatement)](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/getobject-method-sqlservercallablestatement.md) [SQLServerCallableStatement Members](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlservercallablestatement-members.md) [SQLServerCallableStatement Class](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlservercallablestatement-class.md)
