Java - PL/SQL Procedures and Functions?
921628Apr 15 2012 — edited Apr 16 2012It's my understanding that Java can call PL/SQL stored procedures and functions and PL/SQL can call Java stored procedures and functions.
The reason I ask is that my company is reviewing the options on how to replatform our product. Our consultant stated that PL/SQL cannot access Java procedures. I believe they can. I'm not well educated in this, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can before we're committed.
Our GUI front-end will be written in Java, but they are still debating the back-end (large transaction batch jobs). Some think it should be written in Java, some state Java itself would be too slow. I did read AskTom's mantra - SQL, PL/SQL, Java, then C.
So, what's the scoop?
What's the preference, or best practice?
