The value of Web services has fast become understood by businesses everywhere: expose high value business applications and functions through standard XML protocols such as SOAP, WSDL and UDDI and it becomes possible to interoperate with the fast emerging world of Web service enabled applications. Programming language bindings to Web services have permeated the industry. Whether one is programming in Java, PHP, Visual Basic - there is a SOAP binding available. Many have wondered about PL/SQL, the language of the Oracle9i. Given PL/SQL has been used literally for decades for constructing high performance database business logic in Oracle databases, is there a way to expose that functionality to the world of Web services.
