I am writing a C++ program daily_update, which does daily database update,summerization etc. One thread of daily_update calls a Oracle stored procedure (update_pro) every midnight to do a table update and daily_update continue its other jobs without waiting for update_pro to finish. The problems is that daily_update don't know wether or not update_pro succeed. Is there a way for update_pro to send a message (success or fail) back to daily_update on the fly? Thanks in advance.
