I have written a "C" external procedure under Solaris Oracle8. According to Oracle8 manual, the external procedure will be excuted by extproc process which was forked by the Oracle8 Server. I would imagine the extproc should inherited the environment variables from the Oracle Server, I have add the new environment variable into the Oracle user profile and I also put the environment variable into the "dbstart" script. None of this seems to work, my program failed in "getenv" of the environment variable. Question: how are the environment variables generated in the extproc process, what do I need to do to add one ? Thanks in advance Wilson
