This question is purely academic, surely you need to investigate what the system is required to do in terms of processing (Batch/Transaction, GUI Front-end etc.) and then base your decision against the language which would suit the type of processing required. Perhaps you will need to use a bit of both. Gelu, it would appear, is giving you his preferred language and that may not suit the needs of your application.
Go and look at Mark Matthews JDBC drivers for Java, and perform some speed tests on the platforms you are likely to use in both development and a release situation. Perform a comparable test using ODBC, and see which suits you better. A good system is written in the spec, not the code, so you're right not to rush in head long.
