Virtuoso allows using a stored procedure result set in place of a table. A view may also be defined as a stored procedure. This provides smooth integration to external procedural logic in queries.

When a procedure appears as a table, the procedure is called and its result set is inserted into a temporary space. Processing continues from that point on as if the data came from a table.
