[Quoted] [Quoted] I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on how to use the
Oracle HOST command from Forms 4.5. What I need to do is have a user press a button, which needs :

           Open a sqlplus session to another database so that a script which restores

           data on this database can run (ie This script cannot run in the database

           that Forms 4.5 session was started in)

I know if I had the distributed query option installed with Oracle 7.3 I would not need to connect to the other database, as I would be able to change the data directly, but this is not an option at my site.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you can provide me.
