Adriano,
getUserData is not an alternative to getInteger (and similar).
As best I can tell, it was added to allow people to add some user specific
data to a data object. The data is supplied (in setUserData) as a void* so
it really can be anything. This option exists for all data objects,
regardless of their type. I believe the PHP SDO extension uses this
mechanism so that every data object holds an identifier that points back
to
some corresponding PHP entity.
Does that help?

Geoff.
