Alert, external UNIX process

From: Joerg Woelker <jwoelker_at_raie.de>

Problem: We want to signal some Unix process an event out of Oracle
database, i.e. an update into a table. The Unix process should be
sleeping until this event occurs.



Question: Can we use Oracle alert to signal some abitrary Unix process?
Is ist necessary to use an OCI-Call (with PL/SQL) to process
Oracle-Alerts? Does a call to WAITANY using OCI also block the calling
Unix program?



Help very much appreciated!



Joerg.
