Re: Problems calling external C++ routines from PL/SQL

I am not C expert, but a C programmer and I Installed a library What we found that Oracle works only with what is called static library, not dynamic library.
I don't know what the difference between them, (that what the C programmer told me)
but we did develop static library and it worked!
