Having worked with pl/sql I consider it to be a programming language. In 
what ways does it fall short for you, and why would you not consider it to 
be a programming language?

I have used Computronix's cx_oracle 
http://www.computronix.com/utilities.shtml#Oracle with no problem to access 
Oracle databases. With it you can do SQL as well as (send and) invoke 
pl/sql programs.
