SQL*PLUS processing.
Created an Oracle Form to connect to a third party C++ function via Foreign
Function feature. This Oracle form provided a Word Dictionary that
corrected lingual mistakes for the entire system.
Created an Interface Oracle form, using the User Exit feature, to link
Oracle to C++ routines. This allowed system output to be converted to and
print reports in PDF format. Using Pro*C, learned how to call queries from
inside C++ and communicate with Oracle forms.
Created scripts to automatically generate Administrative commands in an
Oracle database using dynamically-defined parameters in several tables and
spooled them to execute the script. This script facilitated the conversion
of a procedural batch file, used to execute administrative jobs on UNIX, to
Windows.
