SQL in Real Programs

• We have seen only how SQL is used at the generic query interface --- an environment where we sit at a terminal and ask queries of a database.

• Reality is almost always different:

conventional programs interacting with SQL.

（我们只是看见了SQL是如何在常规的查询接口中的使用，也就是直接通过终端 对数据库进行交互，但实际上通常是常规程序与SQL语言的交互）

Options

• Code in a specialized language is stored in the database itself (e.g.PSM, PL/SQL).
• SQL statements are embedded in a host language(e.g., C).
• Connection tools are used to allow a conventional language to access a database (e.g., CLI, JDBC, PHP/DB).

（常规程序与SQL语言的交互模式： 数据库储存代码、SQL内嵌、连接工具）

Stored Procedures

• PSM, or "persistent stored modules, " allows us to store procedures as database schema elements.（持久储存模块允许我们将储存模式作为数据库模式元素）

• PSM = a mixture of conventional statements (if, while, etc.) and SQL.

• Lets us do things we cannot do in SQL alone.

数据库中的储存过程和函数的区别在于，函数可以直接通过函数名的引用得到函数值，但是储存过程不行

Advantages of Stored Procedures

• Share Application Logic（共享应用逻辑）
• Shield Database Schema Details（屏蔽数据库细节）
• Provide Security Mechanisms（提供安全机制 ）
• Improve Performance（提升性能）
• Reduce Network Traffic（减少网络流量）

Parameters in PSM

Unlike the usual name-type pairs in languages like C, PSM uses mode- name-type triples, where the modecan be:

• IN = procedure uses value, does not change value.（传入参数，只能调用不能修改）

• OUT = procedure changes, does not use.（传出参数，可以在储存过程被修改）

• INOUT = both

想得到储存过程的返回值，虽然不能直接通过调用储存过程名字，但是可以调用OUT参数
