Hello,
I'd like to ask if there's any chance of calling external process from stored procedure or how to solve this situation - I have a system which is working with data stored in Oracle (and manipulated there) and from time to time (when some condition occurs) I need to send message to runtime part of system and I can't afford have that (runtime part) waiting in loop and from time to time read something. The best way (maybe) would be if I could use blocking read on pipe or something like that.

      Thanks,
          Vlad.
