This is something that has appeared on this list a few times. If you check the archives, I posted an explanation on how to do this using a couple of shell scripts and a stored procedure.

Regards,

Hi Listers,

Can we call operating system command from store procedure or trigger ? I have created the following simple store procedure :

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PROCTES is
begin
HOST('ls');
end;

But I got the error :
Line # = 3 Column # = 6 Error Text = PLS-00201: identifier 'LS' must be declared
Line # = 3 Column # = 1 Error Text = PL/SQL: Statement ignored

Thanks for any clue.
