Re: Calling .bat file from PL/SQL - NT.

execution of any OS level command from within a pl/sql procedure can be achieved by two ways:
1. dbms_pipe
2. using a library function (u may have to create this explicitly.)

There are some more derived solns and some of them were discussed in this forum........ see this tip from Koti Reddy It seems there is some easier soln here: http://www.oracle.com/oramag/oracle/99-Jan/19or8.html
