choices regarding where to place code - in the database or middle tier

Hi -

Over the last several versions of Oracle, developers have been provided with a pretty revolutionary idea for a database product - namely the ability to write code that used to belong in the middle tier and store it in the database. I'm referring here to the ability to write stored procedures in Java.

Now of course, Microsoft with their SQL Server product is doing the same thing. The next version of SQL Server will allow programmers to write stored procedures in any of the .NET languages.

I'm interested in looking at the increased choices developers now have because of these new features in more depth ,developing some best practices on the subject, and possibly publishing an article on the topic.

I personally am more experienced with SQL Server than with Oracle. I am therefore looking for someone who has been involved with making these choices in the Oracle environment who would like to collaborate with me on the subject.

If you are interested, please contact me at joelax_at_dbdirections.com

Thank you
