PL/SQL v. OraPerl.

Hi,

I am at the definition phase of a relatively large database project that will require integrating an Oracle database (running on a Sun) and the Web (or a web server). Most likely, all of the clients will be Web based, but some of the administrative interfaces will be created with a simple front-end, that is designed on a tool like Access.

I am not sure about developing some of the more restrictive user queries and programs with PL/SQL and OraPerl. I will imagine that PL/SQL is probably more powerful than Perl but perl is relatively portable and non-proprietary.

I am curious if anyone has faced the same question, or if anyone can share some of their eperiences with both tools.

Oh yeah, I will probably be using Netscape Enterpriser Server for the HTTP server.

Any information would be helpful, or a pointer to a more appropriate group.

thanks in advance
