Hi!
(Oracle 9.2.0.1.0, Windows XP)

I'm currently looking into creating a AFTER STARTUP ON DATABASE trigger.
I've done a little test by selecting a value from a table in the trigger and logging it out - seems to work fine for me.

However, the documentation states:
[Oracle9i Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals / page 16-8 ]
(...)

Event: STARTUP
(...)

Restrictions: No database operations allowed in the trigger. Return status ignored.
(...)

Can someone explain to me what is meant by "No database operations allowed"?
Which "dtabase operations" are referred to here?

thank you!

best,
