Re: Oracle equivalent of extended stored procedures?

Hi!

I believe there is no way to call executables from a stored procedure. We have to write a daemon (example is in Application Developer's Guide) that listen to a pipe(dbms_pipe package). And from PL/SQL procedure we sends a message to that daemon, so the daemon calls desired executable.
