SQL/JRT

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SQL/JRT,orSQL Routines and Types for the Java Programming Language,is an extension to theSQLstandard first published asISO/IEC 9075-13:2002 (part 13 ofSQL:1999). SQL/JRT specifies the ability to invoke staticJavamethods as routines from within SQL applications, commonly referred to as "Javastored procedures".SQL/JRT also calls for the ability to use Java classes as SQLstructured user-defined types.The two parts of the extension originate from the earlierANSISQLJpart 1 and 2 standards (not to be confused with SQLJ part 0, which defined an embedding of SQL into Java, later standardized by ISO asSQL/OLB.)

Example[edit]

SQL/JRT allows a Java function to be called from SQL code like this:[1]

CREATEFUNCTIONsinh(vDOUBLE)RETURNSDOUBLE
LANGUAGEJAVADETERMINISTICNOSQL
EXTERNALNAME'CLASSPATH:java.lang.Math.sinh'

SELECTsinh(doublecolumn)FROMmytable

SQL/JRT also allows Java code to dynamically generate tables using ajava.sql.ResultSetobject. The result sets returned are converted to SQL tables and can be used anywhere a table or view can be used.[1]

Implementations[edit]

SQL/JRT stored procedures are implemented inHSQLDB.[1]Java stored procedures have also been implemented in Oracle'sJServer(or Aurora JVM), which was introduced in theOracle Databaseversion 8i in 1999;[2][3]it is now calledOracle JVM.[4]IBM DB2also supported Java stored procedures since about 1998, although using an external JVM (at that time).[5]
