I had much the same epiphany, except it was with Java stored procedures in
Oracle. I wrote a pretty slick procedure that connected to various boxes
using sockets and retrieved XML files for processing. The neat thing about
Java is its extensive libraries. I don't think I've ever needed to do
anything that couldn't be done readily using one of the provided classes.
