Hi,

Could somebody tell me how I can write a table trigger which invokes a procedure and/or then is also able to call an external application?

I am running Oracle 8.0.4.0.0 under Solaris 2.6 and need to be able to run an external C program, which is passed variables from a procedure, which is triggered using a trigger on a table.

Please CC replies to 'russ_at_u-net.net' if possible.

It would be very good if somebody could just point me to an appropriate URL which explains the above!

Thanks very much in anticipation.

Best Regards,
Russell. Received on Mon Jul 27 1998 - 09:52:46 CDT
