S
scalability
The ability to increase the size and processing power of an online transaction processing

statement pooling
A framework for pooling PreparedStatement objects.
stored procedure
A procedure registered with SQL/MX and invoked by SQL/MX during execution of a
CALL statement. Stored procedures are especially important for client/server database
