Re: JAVA vs PERL : PERL wins to postgreSQL

To all those who responded ,
Thanks for your response,

I have attached the test programs that I used in the form of text files. The
contents should be self evident. Please have a look and comment.

I used j2sdk1.3.1 down load to linux machine from sun.com as my java platform
and
And  perl, v5.6.0 built for i386-linux.
 The PostgreSQL driver for perl came from www.perl.org
  The postgreSQL driver in jdbc7.0-1.2.jar
