/**
 * INTERNAL:
 * A database field of object-relational type: either a java.sql.Array,
 * java.sql.Struct, or java.sql.Ref.
 * Oracle drivers require the user defined field type name for these fields,
 * along with the generic sqlType: ARRAY, STRUCT, or REF.
 * Toplink can only recognize primitive field types like Integer
 * or String, but here custom java objects are being written to a single field.
 * Thus instead of DatabaseField#type the driver needs a string representing
 * the user defined type of the structure on the database, and the type of
 * field: either ARRAY, STRUCT, or REF.
 * Added for bug 2730536.
