    Hi
    
    Java is getting better for performance in the RDBMS but PL/SQL is
    currently faster in a lot of cases the simple reason being that most of
    PL/SQL is actually implemented as C callouts from PL/SQL, Java tends to
    be written in Java and run by the JVM, there is also a bigger overhead
    in calling Java in the first place.
    
    cheers
