Re: execute an external command line in pl/sql

Can ONLY people that know, answer the questions ? In "Oracle 8 Application developer's guide, release 8.0), there is the answer, on pages 527-569, in the PL/SQL Input/output chapter. The second example to use the dbms_pipe is : Execute system commands on page 541.
There's the code to create the functions in the db. And also, the code to create the exe file in Pro*C.

The thing is that I don't have Pro*C precompiler installed on my server, so i can't use it.

Is this functionnality (Pro*C precompiler) available in the standard edition of 8.0.4 ?
How can i install it ?

Thanks for ANSWERS.

Michel Garcia.
