Never heard more BS than that

Why do you thinh JDBC, PRO C/C++ , Csharp .NET etc are developed in
the first place. Does PL/SQL have all the object-orieneted features of
JAVA or C++? It all depends on which background one comes from and
what are the career path one wants to take? Learning many langauges
is always a good think. One should not limit oneself to PL/SQL. Usings
statements like rubbish just shows one lacks objectivity and.

You are claiming there is no performance loss - that is nonsense.

Also:
- - JDBC is not a programming language.
- - C is beautiful for writing hardware drivers, perhaps operating
systems, but not for applications.
- - C++ is a MS attempt to hop on the OO bandwagon.
- - .Net - have no idea why that was developed - it's not a programming
language, it's a framework.

Leave in the database what the database is good at.

It is like using Assembly Language vs C/C++. I am sure Assembly
laguage you can gain some
peformance advanatge. but how many people still write Assembly. When
one develops software, there are so many aspects to performance and so
many places performance can be tuned. If only reason, one wants to use
PL/SQL is because of performance advntages, one is on wrong path.

When I started my career many years ago, I used to write lot of
PRO*C/C code. Now, most of my database centric code I write in PL/
SQL, at the same time I have leant Java and use Java (JDBC for
database part). I try not to become a fan of one language. That closes
door for taking advatages of better features provvided by other
languages.
