Until "someone" has a name, and unless that name is Larry Ellison, you can be pretty sure the root of the rumor is a competitor of Oracle attempting to create fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Well, when Oracle first put Java in the database, I remember clearly words to the effect that Java would replace PL/SQL coming out of Larry Ellison's mouth. I believe it was during Oracle OpenWorld - I can't remember the last year, but I recall it being in Los Angeles. There was some controversy about Ellison's statements back then and I think it was Ray Lane who quickly assured everyone that Java was not seen as a replacement for PL/SQL. --Glenn
