There is no portable way to create or modify a Struct or Array object using the
JDBC API.

It *is* possible to:
1. Read a Struct or Array from a JDBC Connection (ResultSet.getObject(...))
2. Write a Struct or Array to a JDBC Connection (PreparedStatement.setObject
(...))

but it is not possible to:
3. Create a new Struct or Array value without using driver specific code (e.g.
a constructor for an implementation of either interface)

4. Modify the content of a Struct or Array between the read and write operations

Why are there no Array.setArray(...), Struct.setAttributes(...),
Connection.createArray(...), Connection.createStruct(...) methods in JDBC?
