Roland, Please see the example I posted some time ago to this list. I'm sure Sam Roberts will be able to point you in the direction of it.
Failing that please see. Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 07:20:24 -0700 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Hi Roland, Yes it is possible, I have got a piece of code that I got from the site asktom.oracle.com, that allows you to send Unix commands to the shell from within SQL. I'm making the assumption that it's a Unix environment you want to make the call within? If it is, give me a shout and I'll let you have the code... Regards, Kev. A message I sent to you in September last year. And please refer to the page on this mailing list archive site http://www.mail-archive.com/oracle-l@fatcity.com/msg24301.html where I give the code and explain it's usage. Regards. Kev. -----Original Message----- Sent: 30 January 2002 08:41 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hallo, is there anyone who can tell me if it ispossible run unix shell script from PL/SQL Anyone who has a good example too that I can use.
