I disagree. Oracle knows that PL/SQL is proprietary as hell. Supporting Sun's Java (oxymoron, I know) makes Oracle smell like a rose.

If I had my way, nobody would use PL/SQL because they would not be portable.

Funny, portability is what Oracle has preached for years.

To Microsoft, portability means it runs on all versions of Windows. To Oracle it means it runs on/in every Oracle Database.
