Calling Java Program from Oracle PLSQL with Example (Using Loadjava Utility)

In this post, let us see how to execute a Java program from PLSQL or simply Oracle Database. I tried to explain in Step by Step Approach.

1. Create a Java Class and place it in the OS location of the server.

2. Load the Java class file into Oracle Database using loadjava utility

3. Prepare the wrapper PLSQL function to call the Java Class

4. Verify the Execution of the Java class from Oracle DB

Step1: Create a Java Class and place it in the OS location of the server.

public class Math{

public static int Sum (int x, int y){

return (x + y );

}

public static int difference (int x, int y ){

return (x-y);

}

}

Step2: Load the Java class file into Oracle Database using loadjava utility

loadjava –user <db_username>/<db_password> <java Source file name>

We can verify the loaded objects from Database,

Step3: Prepare the wrapper PLSQL function to call the Java Class

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION do_sum (x NUMBER, y NUMBER)

-- Return type should match the return type of java member function

RETURN NUMBER

AS

LANGUAGE JAVA

NAME 'Math.Sum(int,int) return int';
