We were running Oracle 7.3.4 on Sequent Unix. We wanted a stored procedure to perform a transaction with access to a mainframe (Unisys Mapper). We experimented with the back end launching a shell script. It can return simple answers but is not designed for high volume, multi-user access.

Another similar way is to run daemons in crontab that watch for flag files. Oracle backend writes the flag file, which causes the daemon to launch the process...
