Re: Can Stored Procedure communicate w/ Windows COM object?

Where I work, we do just that: communicating via COM. Unfortunately for you, I only do the database side. I believe we use the Oracle XA protocol. And yes, it works fine.

Please email me at work and I'll forward your question to my collegues.

That is: dirkdotbellemansatfortisbankdotcom and DON'T use this address for anything else, please.
