   We have a few rather advanced calculation routines   
   developed in C++. Currently we are using a Sybase ASA   
   database for our app. and these routines are accessible   
   by so called external functions exported by a DLL   
   (dynamic link library) that we wrote in C++. Sybase   
   supports this quite nicely.   
      
   The client app can call such routines by:   
      
   "select get_roof_angle() as angle from dummy;"   
   or   
   ":angle = call get_roof_angle();"   
      
   Now we are checking if other databases can provide us   
   with similar abilities. So I just wonder if Oracle   
   supports the ability to call a routine exported by a   
   DLL? If yes, does anyone know the SQL syntax to declare   
   it in Oracle.
