SQL/JRT, or SQL Routines and Types for the Java Programming Language, is an extension to the SQL standard first published as ISO/IEC 9075-13:2002 (part 13 of SQL:1999). SQL/JRT specifies the ability to invoke static Java methods as routines from within SQL applications, commonly referred to as "Java stored procedures". SQL/JRT also calls for the ability to use Java classes as SQL structured user-defined types. The two parts of the extension originate from the earlier ANSI SQLJ part 1 and 2 standards (not to be confused with SQLJ part 0, which defined an embedding of SQL into Java, later standardized by ISO as SQL/OLB.)

Example
SQL/JRT allows a Java function to be called from SQL code like this:cite-ref-hsqldbmanual-1-0[1]
CREATE FUNCTION sinh(v DOUBLE) RETURNS DOUBLE
LANGUAGE JAVA DETERMINISTIC NO SQL
EXTERNAL NAME 'CLASSPATH:java.lang.Math.sinh'
SELECT sinh(doublecolumn) FROM mytable
SQL/JRT also allows Java code to dynamically generate tables using a java.sql.ResultSet object. The result sets returned are converted to SQL tables and can be used anywhere a table or view can be used.cite-ref-hsqldbmanual-1-1[1]
Implementations
SQL/JRT stored procedures are implemented in HSQLDB.cite-ref-hsqldbmanual-1-2[1] Java stored procedures have also been implemented in Oracle's JServer (or Aurora JVM), which was introduced in the Oracle Database version 8i in 1999;cite-ref-lakshman2002-2-0[2]cite-ref-3[3] it is now called Oracle JVM.cite-ref-greenwaldstackowiak2008-4-0[4] IBM DB2 also supported Java stored procedures since about 1998, although using an external JVM (at that time).cite-ref-chamberlinchamberlin1998-5-0[5]
