Here is my #ThanksODC post. A long one... There's a point that should always be a major topic for database developer community discussions: where to run the procedural code.

Either because it is too complex and requires a procedural language.

Topic: In this post, you will find an example of how to build and deploy a basic artificial neural network scoring engine using PL/SQL.
