Depends on your developers. We have few JAVA developers, but quite a few C programmers. Plus I've got this great book of math routines in C.

Ive just started digging into these. Im familiar with Java and C, though Im hardly an expert. It appears that java stored procedures are much easier to use and far more forgiving than C based external procedures.

So then I started looking for functionality that external procedures have over java and I cant find any. Since I cant find any, I dont see any reason to spend time learning how to use them.

so my question is, are there things you can do with external procedures that you cant do with java?
