Re: Calling a libary on unix from oracle 7.3.4

I know that I can include bij using -l in compiling. But for example I hanve made a libary with as function to make the incomming character capitilized and returns the capitilized character:

file test.c
#include <stdio.h>

char caps(input)
char input;
{ return toupper(input); }
--
cc -c test.c
ar -v -q libtest.a test.o

So now the libary libtest.a can be called if I link it with another program. My question is: can I call this libary from an oracle stored procedure. (ofcourse this function excists in oracle, but my function is to specific to explain !)

Thanks Leo
