# getUnicodeStream 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 stream of Unicode characters.  
  
> [!NOTE]  
>  This method has been deprecated from the JDBC specification, and calling it will cause a "not implemented" exception to be thrown. Instead, you should use the [getCharacterStream](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/getcharacterstream-method-sqlserverresultset.md) method.
