On a project, I am working we need to shell out to Perl during the execution of a stored procedure. We have written a Pro*C daemon and a PL/SQL package to facilitate the coordination between Perl and PL/SQL.

My question is, how reliable are Oracle Pipes? Can they withstand being pounded day after day with messages until the Database comes down for routine backups? We need this coordination between Perl and PL/SQL to be as reliable as possible. Can anyone comment on the pipes reliability?

Please respond via email, in addition to a News post.

Thanks,
