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.
