PL/SQL to call external program

[NullTerminator]

Is it possible to have a stored procedure call out to execute an external (command line) program? Are there any canned libraries to help me do this?

Running oracle 9i on Linux.

Thanks

You can map C libraries to PL/SQL functions.
You create a shared object (.so) in C, and then map it to a LIBRARY type, declare a function, and you're away. Would this be what you are after ?
