For Oracle7 use something like PLEX
(http://www.oracle.com/database/features/plsql/plexdoc_toc.html). For Oracle8 use the built-in feature External Procedures (http://www.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/99-Jan/19or8.html for UNIX and http://technet.oracle.com/support/scr/content/471/471.htm for Windows NT).
