To the best of my knowlege and belief, pl/sql is a proprietary language
owned by Oracle corp and available only for the Oracle RDBMS.
The design of pl/sql owes something, I think, to ADA...the idea of
packages, and perhaps the way that exceptions are handled may be
inspired by ADA, but as for pl/sql itself, thats an Oracle product.
