Oracle has repeatedly stated that PL/SQL is not
going away.
One good reason for this is that PL/SQL is highly
optimized for DML in the database. Java is not,
and will not likely ever be as efficient PL/SQL
for manipulating large amounts of data. At least
IMO.
OOP has many benefits, but large scale DML is not
one of them, at least not yet.
PL/SQL will be around for awhile yet.
And if you are wondering 'Should I learn Java?', the
answer is 'definitely', as it is capable of many
things that PL/SQL is not.

Dear List,
I haven't really seen a question on this list regarding SQLJ, and it makes
me wonder how many people on this list actually use SQLJ. A DBA friend of
mine told me that eventually SQLJ will replace PL/SQL in preference, and I
wanted to know the truth regarding his statement - so who better to ask than
the experts of this list?
What have you heard, or better yet, what is your opinion of SQLJ? Is SQLJ
the future? Will PL/SQL die a slow death? Can you do everything in SQLJ
that you can do in PL/SQL?
Cheers,
