Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain 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.
