Is it possible to write the equivalent of stored procedures in Java on the database-server in Derby (also known as Cloudscape and Java DB) instead of having to learn how to write stored procedures?
Each database has their own variant of stored procs (they are not standardized), so I'm not sure what you mean by "the equivalent of stored procs in Java". Those ARE (or will be) stored procs.
Be reasonable. You can't destroy everything. Where would you sit? How would you read a tiny ad?
