I happened to attend the NY Oracle User Group meeting yesterday. Tom Kyte spoke, and his topic was PL/SQL New Features in Oracle11g. No way is PL/SQL disappearing. In fact, Tom said that Java in the database was the best thing that ever happened to PL/SQL, since it lit a fire under a somewhat complacent PL/SQL language development teah, who have been improving the language greatly ever since.

Someone at work had it down in writing! I couldn't believe it. I have since asked them for proof and not heard back. Thought I'd check to see if I had missed one of the biggest news in the oracle history. -----Original Message----- From: Bobak, Mark [mailto:Mark.Bobak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, 15 December 2006 5:08 PM To: Leng Kaing; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: pl/sql to be desupported in favour of java? Where did you hear that? I think not! Certainly not in 11g! I don't see it happening in the foreseeable future. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Leng Kaing Sent: Fri 12/15/2006 12:47 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: pl/sql to be desupported in favour of java? Hello again, everyone, Someone has just brought this up to my attention and I thought "What? Why haven't I heard of this?" Has anyone heard of this rumor? What version of Oracle are we talking about? 11g? Ta, Leng. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Leng Kaing Senior Oracle DBA Hansen Technologies; 2 Frederick St; Doncaster 3108 Ph: +61-3-9840-3832 Notice: This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may contain legally privileged information and/or copyright material of Hansen Technologies Limited or third parties.
