Re: UNIX : script help/input

I would be tempted to use Java for this rather than C.

Much more portable than external procedures, an important distinction in a heterogenous shop.

I'd suggest to consider external C function -- it's faster, it's easier to write especially when you need to work with bits, shifts etc.. I've recently implemented crc32 for some internal project -- works well, obviously faster than SQL, PL/SQL and native comp of PL/SQL code. Native comp. is also good to consider, if it's 9i. Sure, it depends...
