You cannot directly do system calls from triggers in Oracle7, but you can do basically the same using the DBMS_PIPES supplied packaged. Essentially you write your own C program, which communicates with the Oracle7 Server using this package (dbms_pipes.send() and dbms_pipes.receive() ).

Pages A-23 and A-24 of the Oracle7 Server Application Developers Guide shows and example of this feature.
