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.
