We have deployed an application entirely based upon PL/Java for
database access. Although the application was delivered 6 months ago
to our client (a group of educational institutions), it went into
production use only 3 months ago. So far, there has been no bug
reports related to PL/Java or database use.

The best part of PL/Java is that you can easily migrate your JDBC
code from your business logic to the database (PL/Java) or vice-versa.
