UNIX commands from within PL/SQL

Hi All,

I need to have access to UNIX commands from within PL/SQL. I would like to
- get a list of files in a directory and put it in another file (so
PL/SQL can process them one by one)
- move processed files to another directory

I guess I need a PRO*C program that communicates with the PL/SQL program via a pipe.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks. Received on Mon Jul 06 1998 - 04:30:40 CDT
