But only because they already live/run inside a JVM, so it's the "natural" choice of language.
And H2 and Derby *only* support Java stored procedures.
The main disadvantage I see with that is, that you can't "just" write a procedure (or trigger) with a simple
(procedural)SQL Statement. Yyou need to compile it, package into a jar file and the add the jar file(s) to the
classpathof the application (or the server process).
This essentially means you need to restart your application or the server when you deploy a trigger.
Hardly anyhting that you want to do in a production environment.

MySQL does not have Java triggers (or procedures).
