Jared your right I just see PL/SQL different from other programming languages from the perspective of its "openness". For example, I write korn shell scripts to do a number of things not just related to managing an Oracle database itself. I use C language for a number of things. PL/SQL I wouldn't use for anything but writing Oracle server-side code. That is what I meant.

What are your criteria that must be met
