Re: How to execute HOST command from strored procedure

You want to use host to communicate with the operating system. PL/SQL will not support the HOST command, but SQL and SQLFORMS will. In my applications I send mail to a lot of user. I create a temp table to storage the mail command (in your case you operating system command line) I spool the table out and I se host ffrom sql to execute the file. But It is what it works for my requirement. (By the way no compilation required). Received on Mon Mar 25 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
