Hi,

has anybody out there ever implemented a constructor method for an object type in C under Oracle 10g?

Is it possible at all?

I am thinking of s.th. like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE point AS OBJECT (

	blah NUMBER(2,0),
	foo VARCHAR2(100),

	CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION point RETURN SELF AS RESULT

) NOT FINAL; ... with the type body specified as follows: CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE BODY point AS

	CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION point RETRUN SELF AS RESULT
	AS EXTERNAL LANGUAGE C
	LIBRARY foo_lib
	NAME "point_constructor"
	WITH CONTEXT
	PARAMETERS ( CONTEXT, SELF);

END; Thanks a lot,
