There are many reasons to use one tool over another. For me and my company, perl offers faster development time. What it boils down to, both tools allow you to connect to the Database so anything that can execute SQL or pl/sql is fine.

In the past, executing the same business logic with medium to big amount of data (100k+ records) is faster in perl than java. Unfortunately I=20 don't have any statistics to back to support this. Anyone?

The java developers that I know of, uses ODBC or OCI, to communicate = from
the java application server (ATG) to 8i. I don't know of anyone using=20 java and communicating to Oracle's API. =20

Hi, please there is another reason than simple know perl, to use perl instead of Java.
I always heard Java had more advantages than perl, including the fact = that
Oracle include it in the database.

Now you are talking as much about perl, and I am thinking to study java, = I
am asking which is
best. for most purpouses.

Thanks :)
