Re: Invoking a unix programme from Oracle

It takes a bit more than dbms_pipe, a program (C, Fortran, COBOL, ...) needs to be writen using Pro*(C, Fortran, COBOL, ...) or OCI needs to be writen that will monitor the dbms_pipe and submit the UNIX program. It is a fairly straight forward process. There are sample programs with the Pro*(whatever) install.
