Calling .DLL file on WIndows application server from Oracle 11g DB on Linux

640879Apr 12 2011 — edited Apr 22 2011
Hi All,

At the moment, our Oracle 10g DB is hosted on W2K3 and has all the DLL files it requires for online printing of some documents on the same Windows database server. We have no problem in calling the DLL file using EXTPROC.

However we are looking at migrating to Oracle 11g on SLES10 and moving all the printing part to Application server on W2K8.

So now am looking at invoking the .DLL file residing on a Windows application server from a PL/SQL procedure running on SLES10 using extproc.

Will the Linux DB server be able to invoke .DLL file on W2K8?

Am unable to try it out at the moment as am still waiting for the Linux DB server to be built out. Was planning to look at alternatives meanwhile if its not a working option.
