Re: PL/SQL vs Java speed in 10g

I went to a presentation from an Oracle employee a few years ago... He said that when Oracle started going Java crazy, it pissed off the PL/SQL development team... So, they responded with the attitude of "Dead uh? We'll just see about that!" and started pumping out all the cool stuff we've seen over the last few years... Not sure if it's true but it sounds plausible...
