I have used 'external procedures' from Oracle since version 6 (as far as I remember) in the form of 'exits' - try to look that subject up. Come to think of it, I haven't used them since then....

The general idea is that you write a piece of (C/C++/...) code, that you compile to an object module and link into the relevant Oracle binary. I used it with runform - the Forms 3.5 runtime - and I don't know if it is available for eg. the database binary.
