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

kind of complicated but possible. I have seen it once. You need to

1. create a javaclass inside oracle database. This class calls a .py file in the directory which contains it.
2. create a procedure that calls the java class of item 1.
3. in your sql query, call the procedure of item 2 whenever you need it.
