That's a wrinkle I had not thought about. Here, being a PeopleSoft shop, they like to
run SQR's and sure enough they want to run the same sqr's from web pages, forms
applications, etc. Well I took the stand that the external procedure could only
be passed data. No you can't pass an sqr fi
I'm not sure if I'd mentioned this before:
We do use an external procedure to run external OS commands, but the procedure that is
mapped to the C program is a private procedure in a package. The public interface to
this procedure uses the PRODUCT_PROFILE (aka PRODUCT_USER_PROFILE) table to contr
This is the only reasonable policy, because all OS commands would
necessarily execute on the server side. Developers, generally speaking,
do not have access to the database server, so I don't see much use
for that. If the idea is to spawn a command on the developer's workstation
by using "rsh" or "
HUMM, I've taken a pretty tight stand against open ended external procedures and Java
Stored Procedures. Thankfully the developers here agree. Basically I've told them
that can't have an external or java procedure that executes a command send into it.
That being the case rsh or sh command pr

Thanks for all your input. I conclude from this discussion that it is not
possible to have different, seperate external procedure listeners for
different SIDs in the same instance at least not in 8.1.7.
Incidentially, I have been having an issue with running an rsh command via
an extern
John,
I agree if you have multiple databases under the same home all is well, one
extproc sid will do. But if you have several different Oracle homes, with different
versions of Oracle then each needs it's own extproc sid. Tried using the latest
listener and/or extproc combinations, d
Thanks - I wasn't sure if each session got its own instance of extproc. The SID
associated with an EXTPROC is not the same as a SID associated with a database. I
have several databases running under the same Oracle Home, and they are sharing the
same external procedure listener - which referen
That's pretty much it, at least through Oracle 8.1.7 (what I'm using). This is mostly
because Oracle only uses one service name to make the connection,
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA, and TNSNAMES can only associate that service name with one
IPC key. Therefore you can only talk to the one listener t
John,
On the contrary. You do need to associate an EXTPROC with a particular SID
otherwise running different versions of Oracle on the same box blows the EXTPROC to
hell. You'll notice that in listener.ora there needs to be a line "SID_NAME=" and in
TNSNAMES.ora there is a "Connect_da
Hmm...so if for some reason I needed two external procedure listeners to
run, (because, for example I wanted them to run as 2 different application
users rather than oracle or use 2 different sets of .so files), I could not
do it?

You're right - there isn't any tie between external procedures and a particular SID in
the listener. Here's what I am guessing (educated guess based on the docs) happens:
1. Nothing supports external procedures until one is called.
2. When a session in a particular database instance calls an ex
