in reply to Whether to perl or oracle

I end up getting stuck on these all the time. The people at my work who are SQL gurus tell me to use SQL, to "leverage the power of the database" - but the perl folk say "use perl, it's way easier, plus you can do offline analysis of the data and take some of the work -off- the database."

I say use perl!

    Yeah, I am always a big fan of simple perl. Thanks for your thought.
