Re: do you use SQLJ ?

Oracle has repeatedly stated that PL/SQL is not going away.

One good reason for this is that PL/SQL is highly optimized for DML in the database. Java is not, and will not likely ever be as efficient PL/SQL for manipulating large amounts of data. At least IMO. OOP has many benefits, but large scale DML is not one of them, at least not yet.

PL/SQL will be around for awhile yet.

And if you are wondering 'Should I learn Java?', the answer is 'definitely', as it is capable of many things that PL/SQL is not.
