I think a lot of people (myself included) view java as a redundant dependency
with licensing problems -- a headache with very little payoff.  That is another
debate altogether, but I think it is important to have a non-java solution to
database problems.  For me, it is a combination of system() and sed, but that
isn't exactly graceful either.
