Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.tools -> Re: Executing external programs from a database procedure.
hi
you can use external procedures(found $ORACLE_HOME/plsql/demo/ext*)
also u need 2 patch tnsnames.ora, insert following
extproc_connection_data =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = SID))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = extproc))
)
and add
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = extproc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /usr/oracle/product/8.0.5)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
into SID_LIST_LISTENER 's SID_LIST section
