If you have Oracle7 then the only way this can be done is with DBMS_PIPE, the approach is documented in the Oracle7 Server Application Developers guide. It basically consists of a process waiting for a message at one end of the pipe and then running the required executable.

If you have Oracle8 then you can also use external procedures.
