SQLJ is a 'precompiler' language that compiles into JDBC calls.
x.sqlj -> gets run thru preprocessor outputs -> x.java -> which gets run thru javac -> *.class -> which gets run through java.
PL/SQL is the navtive stored procedure language that mixes an ada like language with SQL constructs. For example, in plsql I can easiy:
for x in ( select * from emp )
loop
dbms_output.put_line( x.ename ); end loop;
it does not use jdbc (predates jdbc by a couple of years at least)...
SQLJ can be used to build a standalone java program or a java stored procedure.
PLSQL can be used to build a standalong plsql program or a plsql stored procedure.
They are very similar in nature (both use VMs to execute in). They are just different languages.
