Really old versions of Oracle supported procedures in PL/SQL, later compiled Java was added. With release 2 of Oracle 10g the .NET CLR will be supported, meaning that you can store whatever compiled C#/VB.NET/J# or any other .NET-language into the database. Of course I don’t expect everything to work with this first release, but I like this move better than Oracle’s move to include Java. I’m just not into Java.
Read more about Release 2 here. The current planned date for Release 2 is around the middle of 2005.
