Tech analysts seems to have an increasing interest in Java these days. Enterprise features,
J2EE, Eclipse, jada jada.
Show Eclipse with Clay (http://www.azzurri.jp/en/software/clay/index.jsp) for instance. Easy
to set up and gives a good graphical demo. PostgreSQL has an excellent JDBC driver suite
(will be used in the demo). And don't forget to mention PL/Java ;-)
