Extproc_ruby - embed Ruby in Oracle?

ruby-talk
1

I recently came across a very interesting talk at OSCON that I hadn’t
heard about before called “extproc_perl: Embedding Perl in Oracle”, by
Jeff Horwitz. extproc_perl embeds a Perl interpreter in an external
Oracle procedure, allowing you to search Oracle tables using Perl
regular expressions, or even use Perl code as a stored procedure.

You can find the synopsis and PowerPoint download here:

The module itself is available on CPAN.

In light of recent development on ruby9i, I think this is something
worth keeping in mind. I know I would love to see something like this
for Ruby. :slight_smile:

Regards,

Dan

PS - Some of the slides will not work properly with OpenOffice or
StarOffice in slideshow mode.

I think Guy Decoux’es plruby can do something similar… But its for
postgres. ?

Besides plruby, I don’t think there is any such initiatives ?
