# setObject Method (int, java.lang.Object, int, int)
[!INCLUDE[Driver_JDBC_Download](../../../includes/driver_jdbc_download.md)]

  Sets the value of the designated parameter by using the given object, target type, and scale.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
public final void setObject(int n,  
                            java.lang.Object obj,  
                            int targetSqlType,  
                            int scale)  
```  
  
#### Parameters  
 *n*  
  
 An **int** that indicates the parameter number.  
  
 *obj*  
  
 An object.  
  
 *targetSqlType*  
  
 An **int** that indicates the target type as defined in java.sql.Types.  
  
 *scale*  
  
 An **int** that indicates the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. This parameter is ignored for all types other than NUMERIC and DECIMAL.  
  
## Exceptions  
 [SQLServerException](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverexception-class.md)  
  
## Remarks  
 This setObject method is specified by the setObject method in the java.sql.PreparedStatement interface.  
  
 Beginning with [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] JDBC Driver 3.0, the behavior of this method is modified by the **sendTimeAsDatetime** connection property ([Setting the Connection Properties](../../../connect/jdbc/setting-the-connection-properties.md)) and [SQLServerDataSource.setSendTimeAsDatetime](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/setsendtimeasdatetime-method-sqlserverdatasource.md).
