# unwrap Method (SQLServerStatement)
[!INCLUDE[Driver_JDBC_Download](../../../includes/driver_jdbc_download.md)]

  Returns an object that implements the specified interface to allow access to the [!INCLUDE[jdbcNoVersion](../../../includes/jdbcnoversion_md.md)]-specific methods.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
public <T> T unwrap(Class<T> iface)  
```  
  
#### Parameters  
 *iface*  
  
 A class of type **T** defining an interface.  
  
## Return Value  
 An object that implements the specified interface.  
  
## Exceptions  
 [SQLServerException](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverexception-class.md)  
  
## Remarks  
 The [unwrap](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/unwrap-method-sqlserverstatement.md) method is defined by the java.sql.Wrapper interface, which is introduced in the JDBC 4.0 Spec.  
  
 Applications might need to access extensions to the JDBC API that are specific to the [!INCLUDE[jdbcNoVersion](../../../includes/jdbcnoversion_md.md)]. The unwrap method supports unwrapping to public classes that this object extends, if the classes expose vendor extensions.  
  
 When this method is called, the object unwraps to the [SQLServerStatement](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/sqlserverstatement-class.md) class.  
  
 For example code, see [Updating Large Data Sample](../../../connect/jdbc/updating-large-data-sample.md), or [unwrap Method &#40;SQLServerCallableStatement&#41;](../../../connect/jdbc/reference/unwrap-method-sqlservercallablestatement.md).
