i stumbled across such an implementation when i first searched for md5-calculation with oracle. (but unfortunately i didn't bookmarked the thing)

do you have any experience in executing java in oracle? i wonder how much time the start of the vm takes. and how much slower it runs instead of pure pl/sql.
