Oracle 9i Java Programming: Solutions for Developers Using PL/SQL

While the integration of a Java Virtual Machine into the Oracle database has provided a whole host of new opportunities and challenges to the Oracle developer and DBA, it has also provoked much debate as to when it makes sense to exploit this feature. This book clearly demonstrates many practical, real-world applications that developers can put to immediate use in their day-to-day jobs. With Java and Oracle, the developer can now compress LOBs, use multicast sockets to automatically alert clients when data has changed, and run an FTP Java client in the database, to name but a few of the examples covered here. In addition, this book gives in-depth consideration to the question of when it is appropriate to use Java from a performance perspective, including benchmarks.
