Re: Asynchronous Procedure Calls

That is true, I have figured it out. dbms_job will allow the asynchronous execution of procedures and dbms_pipe allows the communication between the processes to occur. It works. I'm doing it now. The jobs are being kicked off in groups of 10 and they are sending a message back to the calling program via pipes. Each job has it's own pipe, so the main program can keep track of who is done. Currently, I am waiting for all 10 to complete before starting the next 10, but I may work on a way to start the eleventh job when the first one finishes. I'm just glad that I got something to work.

Thank you for your help.
