If java ever did replace PL/SQL (which I don't think it will), and PL/SQL went bye-bye, I'd probably have to switch databases.

I do not know java, I do not want t o know java. What little java I've done and seen was slow, big, and overly complicated.

Once a year we have mandatory computer security training, and for some stupid reason the company they contracted with has a java program that does nothing except displays web pages (plain ole' HTML), and every year my users have problems with it freezing up, losing track of pages viewed, etc.

PL/SQL is quick and easy to use, and if you want something complicated, then java is an option. Keyword being "option".
