You are kidding, I hope. Oracle hasn't 'based their future database products' on Java.

It's an optional extra.

Oracle has based its future on a robust RDBMS, which has about as much relation to Java as you do to a rational human being.

Java is *one* means of interfacing to that RDBMS. And Oracle has incorporated technologies which mean that interfacing via Java is no slower than it would be interfacing by any other means (since slowness is the one distinguishing feature of Java, normally). But that doesn't mean Oracle has hitched its boat to Java come what may.

Have a nice Christmas
