Hi,

How do I call a 3GL function from PL/SQL? I am aware of ORA_FFI package but it looks like it is tuned to be used in Windows environment. Does it work under UNIX? If so, what's the procedure to use it? Another way to work around might be to use DBMS_PIPE package and write a server daemon process. But it will be nice if I can use ORA_FFI only.

Thanks in advance.
