ISO/IEC 9075-2: Common Table Expressions

• Fixpoint theory• Unique solutions

• Transformation on the right hand side of a recursive definition must be monotonically increasingDisallow:

• negation that crosses recursion• aggregation that crosses recursion• INTERSECT ALL• EXCEPT ALL• EXCEPT DISTINCT (on right hand side)• FULL OUTER JOIN (LEFT|RIGHT with

recursion on right|left)The SQL Standard (ISO/IEC 9075)

Objectives


Based on JSQL

Extends Java to include SQL constructs as statements and expressions

A JSQL translator that transforms those JSQL clauses into standard Java code that accesses the database through a call interface

An alternative to JDBC (JavaSoft)

Static instead of Dynamic

Tighter integration

ISO/IEC 9075:SQL/JRT


– Use Java classes as SQL data types for:• Columns of SQL tables and views.• Parameters of SQL routines.

– Advantage to SQL:• A type extension mechanism.• A supplement to SQL:1999 ADTs.

– Advantage to Java:• Direct support for Java objects in SQL databases.• No need to map Java objects to SQL scalar or

BLOB types.


ISO/IEC 9075:SQL/JRT

– Specifications for the representation of SQL data (specifically rows and tables of rows, as well as views and query results) in XML form, and vice versa.

– Specifications associated with mapping SQL schemata to and from XML schemata. This may include performing the mapping between existing arbitrary XML and SQL schemata.

– Specifications for the representation of SQL Schemas in XML.

– Specifications for the representation of SQL actions (insert, update, delete).

– Specifications for messaging for XML when used with SQL.

– Specifications of the (perhaps “a”) manner in which SQL language can be used with XML.
