Calling Python from Oracle

Question

Is it possible to call Python within an Oracle procedure? I\'ve read plenty of literature about the reverse case (calling Oracle SQL from Python), but not the other way around.<

Answer 1

I guess this is directly impossible because PL/SQL is specially designed for fast execution inside Oracle server and this isn't place where arbitrary code of other vendor is possible, due to internal limitations.

OTOH you can interact with another server from a stored procedure via TCP channels, this page refers UTL_TCP package. In an external network server, you can utilize any language and any logic.
