Create a Java Stored Procedure in MS SQL Server 2005

Question

Can I create a java stored procedure in MS SQL Server 2005 like in Oracle or DB2?

Answer 1

No, you can't. You can create a .net stored procedure instead.

Answer 2

For general extensibility, you can always call into a .net sproc that calls a web service. Then you can plug whatever system you want on the other end.

Answer 3

My problem solving mind simply cannot except "No". Would it not be possible to write an extended stored procedure dll (in .NET or vanilla C) that calls out to a Java class? Effectively bridging to Java?

Besides my final statement below - would this not be possible in theory?
