Re: Java stored procedures. Are they slower than PL/SQL?

The difference between Java and PL/SQL is that Java has to go through JDBC to access data tables, while PL/SQL goes straight to the SQL engine. I asked some people at Oracle about which language is best where, and the answer is that Java is better for computing-intensive procedures with few data accesses, while PL/SQL is better for procedures with heavy data access.
