Hello,
For a new project we are developing, it is necessary to call a C-application from within a PL/SQL stored procedure. To my knowledge, there are only two ways to do this:
- Use the dbms_pipes package to communicate with a Pro*C process. From a performance point-of-view this is probably not a good idea, because about 30.000 on-line calls per day will be made.
- Use the Oracle Procedural Gateway. This product is not available on our platform (DEC Alpha OSF1).
Does anybody know another way to call C-functions from a stored procedure?
Thanks,
Marco Kalter
