I believe that oci8 supports these calls (I've never used them, but they are in the 8i oci programmers ref guide). I can't give you a reference I can personally vouch for, but these hits off google looked good. http://www.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~kopecky/ora8doc/appdev.804/a58234/app_exam.htm http://uisnt1.humboldt.edu/otn/library/product/tools/pg2k/info/oci_tips.pdf http://www.math.ut.ee/~askot/oradox/orasupp/coderep/cat00009/smpl0069.htm http://www.math.ut.ee/~askot/oradox/orasupp/coderep/cat00009/smpl0029.htm Plus of course the Oracle OCI Programmers reference whihc you can get off technet. As a note Oracle::OCI supports those calls, but I don't see any examples of how it's used besides the ones here: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/Tim_Bunce/OCI_Talk1_200106.zip If whomever mentioned examples of this in work could forward some links for it, I'd be appreciative.
