## Class RowDescriptorBuilder

- java.lang.Object
- - org.firebirdsql.gds.ng.fields.RowDescriptorBuilder

-     public final class RowDescriptorBuilder
      extends java.lang.Object

  Builder to construct an immutable `RowDescriptor`.

  The row descriptor is constructed by defining the fields, and using `addField()` to add the current field definition to the row. The field data is then reset (as if `resetField()` was called, to prepare for the next field to add.

  This class can also be used to construct individual `FieldDescriptor` objects.

          public RowDescriptorBuilder setFieldIndex(int index)

        RowDescriptor instance.
      See Also:
        `isComplete()`

    - #### isComplete

          public boolean isComplete()

      Returns:
        `true` when all `FieldDescriptor` entries have been defined

    - #### getFirstUnprocessedIndex
