A quote from: PL/SQL Programming (Oracle Press 1996 ) p402:

"PL/SQL does not have a direct means of interfacing with C programs. You can't call a C program from a PL/SQl stored procedure, for example. Currently, the only way around this restrictionis to use a pipe or alert to send a message to a waiting C daemon. " Martin Peacock

Failure is easy to deal with: Work harder in future. Success is also easy: You've solved the wrong problem. Work harder in future. Received on Thu Jul 10 1997 - 00:00:00 CDT
