Re: Can't create a trigger on table i created

David,

The "INTERNAL" login is the same as "SYS", except that that password for "SYS" is stored in the database, but the password for "INTERNAL" is stored outside the database. This was "INTERNAL" can be used when the database is not started yet.

Need proof?
Try doing a "SELECT USER FROM DUAL" after you login.

Since you are in fact logged in as "SYS", the table you created is owned by "SYS".
The error message is thus correct.

Solution:
Do not use SYS or INTERNAL (nor SYSTEM) to store application objects.
