SQL, SQL Plus and PL/SQL are supplied with Oracle database (you don't need
to purchase them separately). ODBC and JDBC drivers are used to access
Oracle database from applications (e.g. Java applications). So, there is no
"better" solution, they are used for different purpose. SQL is the
"natural" database language that you'll probably use 90% of time, SQL Plus
contains some Oracle add-ons, while PL/SQL is used to write procedures.
