Is there a better way to do it than pipes? From what I've been told, pipes are VERY resource intensive, and Oracle is not going to support pipes applications in the very near future. Plus, pipes require an application to be sitting on the system, polling the pipe to see if there is data there -- again this sounds resource intensive. It'd be better it when there was work to do I could just make a fn call.
