I have a friend who states SQLJ is faster PLSQL, so I started reading up on SQLJ, which I have always avoided as it didn't seem to impressive and I try to avoid any sql in java files. In reading, I noticed it calls a "SQLJ" runtime which is java. I can't believe this would outperform native PLSQL which only has to do a single context switch to make a SQL call.

Anyone have any experience either way? Even Oracle claims PLSQL is faster:

"PL/SQL is a better solution for SQL-intensive applications. PL/SQL is optimized for SQL, and so SQL operations are faster in PL/SQL than in Java. Also, PL/SQL uses SQL datatypes directly, while Java applications must convert between SQL datatypes and Java types."
