Deleting a file with a trigger?

Is there anyway that I can delete a file from within a database trigger?



Here is the situation:



One of the columns ("filename") in my table contains data of the format:
"c:\wavefiles\foo.wav"



I want to ensure that when the row gets deleted, the corresponding disk
file gets deleted too.



Am I barking up a blind alley or can this actually be done? I'm running on
Windows NT, using Oracle 7.1.



TIA,



-darin!
