Detailed explanations of all the following points appear in later sections.

You can run Java in the database server An internal Java Virtual Machine (VM) runs Java code in the database server.
You can call Java from SQL You can call Java functions (methods) from SQL statements. Java methods provide a more powerful language than SQL stored procedures for adding logic to the database.
You can access data from Java An internal JDBC driver lets you access data from Java.
You can debug Java in the database You can use the Adaptive Server Anywhere debugger to test and debug your Java classes in the database.
SQL is preserved The use of Java does not alter the behavior of existing SQL statements or other aspects of non-Java relational database behavior.
