On the client side, you can link your user exit into a PRO*C program. You can then have the PRO*C program wait on a pipe(the DBMS_PIPE package). You can then have database side PL/SQL(trigger, procedure etc) send a message down the pipe to the sleeping PRO*C program via DBMS_PIPE, and the C program can then perform whatever operation specified by the message.
