It is indeed. In Oracle7 you can use PLEX http://www.oracle.com/database/features/plsql/plexdoc_toc.html, in Oracle8 you use the feature called External Procedures. For examples on the latter, please have a look at http://www.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/99-Jan/19or8.html (UNIX) and http://technet.oracle.com/support/scr/content/471/471.htm (Windows NT).
