Is there a way for an Oracle stored procedure to execute host OS commands? I know MS SQL server has a way to do this using extended stored procedures. Inside the SQL proc a command like "xp_cmdshell dir *" returns the output as rows of text. Any easy wy to do this on Oracle 7? Received on Thu Aug 25 1994 - 22:52:46 CEST
