Concepts
This section introduces the infrastructure for creating and executing user-defined routines (UDRs) and applications that you write in Java™ to run in the HCL Informix® database server.
This section provides the following information:
- Basic characteristics of Java UDRs
- Basic architecture for executing Java UDRs in the database server
- Impact of Java UDRs on the database server system catalog tables
For general information about the purpose and the process of developing UDRs for the database server, see the IBM® Informix User-Defined Routines and Data Types Developer's Guide. For information about how to access databases from Java UDRs, see the IBM Informix JDBC Driver Programmer's Guide.
