Does anyone know if it is possible to run operating system level
commands from within a PL/SQL stored procedure (aka: the SQLPLUS "HOST"
command)?
I know it is possible to use the pipes package to pass commands to a
Pro*C daemon but we wish to avoid Pro*C.
We are running Oracle 7.3.2.1.0 with PL/SQL 2.3.2.0.0 under Unix System
V release 4.0
