Yes...you must use the DBMS_PIPES (v7). Create a stored procedure that the trigger executes. The procedure then places a set of code on a named pipe. The C program is "listening" to this pipe for instructions. I use it to pass UNIX system commands out to be executed. Received on Wed Oct 19 1994 - 17:02:46 CET
