TSQL OLE (com) Objects

Question
Are there any inherent problems with calling an ole object from tsql? I have been posed with a problem that I would like to solve solely using a stored procedure, is there anything I need to worry about with using a ole object as opposed to writing it in a clr based language?
Solution
Just make sure you can't do it as a set-based operation first, remember to free them when you're done, and remember that this isn't going to be at all portable (but then neither would the clr code).
OTHER TIPS
Com objects are mostly native code, if you call something that has a memory leak you could cause problems down the road
