SAP Sybase SQL Anywhere 16.0 » SQL Anywhere Server - Programming

 

Java in the database

SQL Anywhere provides a mechanism for executing Java classes from within the database server environment. Using Java methods in the database server provides powerful ways of adding programming logic to a database.

Java support in the database offers the following:

  • Reuse Java components in the different layers of your application—client, middle-tier, or server—and use them wherever it makes the most sense to you. SQL Anywhere becomes a platform for distributed computing.

  • Java provides a more powerful language than the SQL stored procedure language for building logic into the database.

  • Java can be used in the database server without jeopardizing the integrity, security, or robustness of the database and the server.
