Actually, in Oracle 8 there is a new feature in the database called external procedures. To use this feature, the C program has to be in the form of a shared library (.so in UNIX or .dll in Windows). For more infomration about this check out Oracle Press' book, Oracle 8 PL/SQL Programming. There is a whole chapter in the book about external procedures and how they work. If your C program is an exe, then this won't help you, unless you try writing a shared library that calls the executable or something.
Good Luck.
