Hello!
There seems to be a misunderstanding of the "ORACLE7 Server" architecture:
Triggers have to be coded in PL/SQL - ORACLEs database-specific programming language. Triggers - once activated - 'run' at the "ORACLE7 Server" computer or better in the ORACLE7 Server virtual database engine. They only can use memory and resources on the server-engine. If you want to invoke C/C++ code in triggers, you have to know "ORACLE7 Servers" internal gateways for calling the Operating System and you only can use resources available at the server-engine but no resources at the client. Is this what you want?
