View source for SQL/OLB

'''SQL/OLB''', or ''Object Language Bindings'', is a standard for embedding [[SQL]] in [[Java (programming language)|Java]], commonly known by its prior name as [[SQLJ]] (part 0). Besides describing the syntax and semantics of SQLJ, which are typically given relative to [[JDBC]], the standard also describes mechanisms to ensure binary portability of SQLJ applications, and specifies various Java packages and their contained classes.

SQL/OLB was informally known as "[[SQLJ]] part 0" before standardization, which first occurred under the aegis of [[ANSI]] in 1998 and then ISO in 2000. Although the latter was published after the bulk of [[SQL:1999]], officially it was "part 10" of that standard&mdash;a convention that was maintained for subsequent ISO SQL standards, including the current one, [[SQL:2011]].
