Standard Extension API
An API outside the Core Packages for which Sun Microsystems, Inc. has defined and
published an API standard. Some of the Standard Extensions might migrate into the Core
Packages. Examples of standard extensions are servlets and JTS.
stored procedure
A procedure registered with NonStop SQL/MX and invoked by NonStop SQL/MX
during execution of a CALL statement. Stored procedures are especially important for
client/server database systems because storing the procedure on the server side means
that it is available to all clients. And when the procedure is modified, all clients
automatically get the new version.
stored procedure in Java (SPJ)
A stored procedure whose body is a static Java method.
stub
(1) A dummy procedure used when linking a program with a runtime library. The stub
need not contain any code. Its only purpose is to prevent "undefined label" errors at link
time.
(2) A local procedure in a remote procedure call (RPC). A client calls the stub to perform
a task, not necessarily aware that the RPC is involved. The stub transmits parameters over
the network to the server and returns results to the caller.
