Re: External SQL functions exported by DLLs

Peter,

Oracle refers to these as external procedures. Documentation on a configuration to support such a setup can be found on otn.

OracleŽ Database Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals 10g Release 1 (10.1)
Part Number B10795-01
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10795/adfns_ex.htm#1019109

Managing Processes for External Procedures http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10739/manproc.htm#i1106821

An external procedure listener used to be enabled by default, I believe that in 10g this is no longer the default configuration.
