What can I not do with Java in the database?

SQL Anywhere is a runtime environment for Java classes, not a Java development environment.

You cannot perform the following tasks in the database:

  • Edit class source files (*.java files).
  • Compile Java class source files (*.java files).
  • Execute unsupported Java APIs, such as applet and visual classes.
  • Execute Java methods that require the execution of native methods. All user classes installed into the database must be 100% Java.

The Java classes used in SQL Anywhere must be written and compiled using a Java application development tool, and then installed into a database for use.
