Prerequisites

To install a JAR, you must have the MANAGE ANY EXTERNAL OBJECT system privilege.

You must know the path and file name of the JAR file you want to install. A JAR file can have the extension JAR or ZIP. Each JAR file must have a name in the database. Usually, you use the same name as the JAR file, without the extension. For example, if you install a JAR file named myjar.zip, you would generally give it a JAR name of myjar.

Context and remarks

It is useful and common practice to collect sets of related classes together in packages, and to store one or more packages in a JAR file.
