Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have
established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO/IEC 9075 may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 9075-13 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology,
Subcommittee SC 32, Data management and interchange.
ISO/IEC 9075 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — Database
languages — SQL:
 Part 1: Framework (SQL/Framework)
 Part 2: Foundation (SQL/Foundation)
 Part 3: Call-Level Interface (SQL/CLI)
 Part 4: Persistent Stored Modules (SQL/PSM)
 Part 5: Host Language Bindings (SQL/Bindings)
 Part 9: Management of External Data (SQL/MED)
 Part 10: Object Language Bindings (SQL/OLB)
 Part 11: Information and definition schemas (SQL/Schemata)
TM
 Part 13: SQL Routines and Types Using the Java Programming Language (SQL/JRT)

For the purposes of this part of ISO/IEC 9075, the definitions given in ISO/IEC
9075-1, ISO/IEC 9075-2, ISO/IEC 9075-5, and ISO/IEC 9075-10, and the following definitions, apply.
a) classfile:A file containing the compiled byte code for a Java class.
b) default connection: a JDBC connection to the current SQL-implementation, SQL-session, and
SQL-transaction established with the data source URL ’jdbc:default:connection’.
c) deployment descriptor: one or more SQL-statements that specify and
to be taken, respectively, by the SQLJ.INSTALL_JAR and SQLJ.REMOVE_JAR
procedures and that are contained in a deplyment descriptor file. For example, when a JAR
is installed, one or more s that specify LANGUAGE JAVA and either
PROCEDURE or FUNCTION and the associated s can be specified
in the deployment descriptor and executed as part of the install process.
d) deployment descriptorfile: a text file containing deployment descriptors that is contained in
a JAR, for which the JAR’s manifest entry, as described by the java.util.jar section of Java
2 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.2.2, API Specification, specifies SQLJDeploymentDescriptor:
TRUE.
e) external Java data type: an SQL user-defined type defined with a tion> that specifies an .
f) external Java routine: an external routine defined with an that
specifies LANGUAGE JAVA and either PROCEDURE or FUNCTION, or defined with a defined type definition> that specifies an .
g) installed JAR: a JAR whose existence has been registered with the SQL-environment and
whose contents have been copied into that SQL-environment due to execution of one of the
procedures SQLJ.INSTALL_JAR and SQLJ.REPLACE_JAR.
h) Java Archive (JAR): a zip formatted file, as described by the java.util.zip section of Java
2 Platform, Standard Edition, v1.2.2, API Specification, containing zero or more Java class
