What version of Oracle & OS? Dick Goulet Senior Oracle DBA Oracle Certified 8i DBA -----Original Message----- From: David Boyd [mailto:davidb158@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 9:24 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: listener for external procedure Hi List, Our application development team is trying to use InterMedia Text for text searching against a CLOB field that requires calling external procedure to create domain index. So we need to configure the listener for external procedure (extproc). However, our administrator says that it's NOT a good idea because this opens a security hole on the machine. The interface had been removed as part of addressing security issues in previous patches. I was wondering how you use external procedure. If you don't use external procedure, how do you search text against CLOB field? Thanks in advance for any input. _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! http://clk.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
