Re: Java and Oracle DB

only two? I've seen a lot more.

load balancing wouldn't have anything to do with JVM? I'd be inclined to look for that in Apache...

Again, not relevant. PL/SQL doesn't need load-balancing, what it needs is multi-processors.

Hehehe! If I told you, then I'd have to kill you.

I'd tend to agree partially. It's too complex. Needs major simplification.

Makes sense to me. PL/SQL is much more efficient at DML than Java will ever be. And a data manipulation layer will always be needed, no matter how much Scott Ambler rants about the perils of SQL!

It will stay exactly where it is: as the database behind all that jazz.
