Java stored procedures

When using Java™ to write stored procedures, you can use two possible parameter passing styles.

The recommended style is the JAVA parameter style, which matches the parameter style specified in the SQLj: SQL routines standard. The second style, DB2GENERAL, is a parameter style defined by DB2^® UDB. The parameter style also determines the conventions that you must use when coding a Java stored procedure.

Additionally, you should also be aware of some restrictions that are placed on Java stored procedures.

• JAVA parameter style
  
• DB2GENERAL parameter style
  When coding a Java stored procedure that uses the DB2GENERAL parameter style, you must use these conventions.
• Restrictions on Java stored procedures
  These restrictions apply to Java stored procedures.
