How Can I Execute *.exe From Table Trigger?

Question

i would like to start an exe or dll once record is updated. If field of interest is updated i would like to call an *.exe with parameters. Is this possible in MySql and oracle?

Answer 1

take a look at Gearman

Answer 2

A similar issue came up recently in this question. While that poster was trying to make a web call within a trigger, the same general response ("this is not a good idea") is probably true here as well.
