Re: PL/SQL to run commands

[Quoted] For Oracle 7.3, use the Plex utility available at http://osi.oracle.com/~tkyte
For Oracle 8 and beyond use the external procedure mechanism. Personally I would NEVER EVER fiddle around with regedit directly from another program.
That's the most direct route to HELL I can imagine. Windows API calls to manipule the registry do exist, and I don't think regedit support either DDE or OLE.
