    Berj,

    The 10g documentation tells that this error message is:
    ORA-29913: error in executing <stringcallou t
    Cause: The execution of the specified callout caused an error.
    Action: Examine the error messages take appropriate action.

    And as such does not allow me to help diagnose the problem.

    You could search http://asktom.oracle.com
    Daniel Morgan has a FAQ on external tables at

    There is a simple example at
    Access cloud trials and software downloads for Oracle applications, middleware, database, Java, developer tools, and more.

    Thomas Kyte has a section on external tables on pp.404 to 415 in Chapter 7:
    "Effective Schema Design" of "Effective Oracle by Design" (Oracle
    Press:2003).
    Conner McDonald et al. has an example of using the alert log as an external
    table on pp.371 to 375 in Chapter 7: "DBA Packages" of "Mastering Oracle
    PL/SQL: Practical Solutions" (A-Press:2004).

    If these references do not help, you might want to post the DDL you are
    using as well as the version of Oracle and operating system along with all
    the relevant error messages.

      Start at tahiti.oracle.c om, and look at the manuals for your version.
