Calling Operating system command from Database

I want to read a file list in a directory from a database procedure. I
m using Oracle 9i Release 2. How to do??? I don't want to user
external procedures. I know it can be done through java stored
procedure. Any other solution like a single command......Ja va code is
still ok...

There isn't a prebuilt "single command" solution. You have to write a
java stored procedure and a PLSQL wrapper procedure.

Read java docs and Look at list() or listFiles() functions in
"File" interface in "java.io" API. Goto http://tahiti.oracle.com
for Oracle docs.

Hint:
import java.io.*;
public class foo {
public static String getFileList (String dirname) {
....
File dir = new File(dirname);
String[] entries = dir.list();
...
}
}

Hello all, I have a C++ program, it does some calculations on things and then prints out a file in the format in which GNUPLOT can use. So my question is how would i call GNUPLOT from my C++ program. I know in some operating systems you can do system("gnuplot"); But not with red hat 7.3. So could some kind soul help me out? After it starts up GNUPLOT my program will terminate. Thanks

Hi all, I'm trying to call a C# dll from c++. I followed an example from the MSDN site, and I am able to get their example working, however, I believe their example is a console application, as it takes in command args. I'd like to be able to do the same thing, but from a c++ dll. However, when I port the same code over, it says it cannot create the instance (from the CoCreateInstance).
