real time importing to Oracle.

Can anyone help with this as I am not familiar with Oracle. One of my students wishes to develop a system to run under UNIX that will have the functionality he has outlined below:

It is a PBX phone system which when someone rings in it writes the details of number calling and which person/dept routing to a file. I need some how to have a program waiting till the file is updated to grab the new entry and turn it into format appropriate for oracle so i can run a trigger on it to bring up the callers details.

So far as I can see he wants some type of TSR to monitor the PBX file for activity and when detected this will trigger an import to ORACLE. I do not yet know in what format the PBX stores data other than it has a DAT extension. However, if there is anyone has any ideas please help. Jim Received on Mon Nov 01 2004 - 13:16:39 CST
