Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: Calling 'C' from PL/SQL
In 7.x this is accomplished via the use of dbms_pipes. The server application developers guide has an example. As well, you might want to look at plex available on http://govt.us.oracle.com under downloadable utilities. It simply automates any code you would have to write to call C from pl/sql.
In 8.x, this is done via external procedures, procedures written in some other language (other then pl/sql) and run by the database.

NOTICE: In order to cut down on the amount of time I spend applying silly logic to email addresses like "In order to cut down on spam, remove THIS from my email" or "In order to cut down on spam, reverse my email address", etc, I will simply hit delete when that mail bounces back to me, which is what I do with spam myself.
I haven't figured out whats more time consuming for me, deleting spam or resending emails after re-reading the whole thing to figure out the algorithm to apply. Received on Thu Oct 30 1997 - 00:00:00 CST
