One more question to this >issue: since you did it through the combination of a stored procedure and >a C code, why didn't you consider to implement it as an RPC? I think RPC >is more clean than a "workaround." Right? Well, the method I used is indeed a sort of workaround. But, hey, it's a lot simpler than RPC. RPC is difficult to grasp and slow if your network is large and/or slow. Another advantage of my method is the size of the program. The SP is about 5 lines long (system call + exception trapping), the C program is about half a page. If my employer doesn't mind, I'll post both within the next couple of days. Koen
