In addition to creating and debugging java classes, JDeveloper 2.0 provides facilities for easily deploying java methods to an Oracle 8i database.

Once deployed, these methods are run inside the RDBMS via the JVM that is integrated into Oracle 8i.

The benefits of deploying classes to run in the database include:

• direct access to JDBC
• reduced network traffic
• server management of resources and security

• create,deploy, and run a simple class

  Includes step by step instructions for creating a deployment profile.

• deploy and run a more complex class

  Deploy a class containing JDBC code to the server, then call it from a client-side application using SQLJ.
