    Calling COM or DLL's from triggers ?

    Is this possible in 8 or 9 ?

    Does anyone have an example ?

    Thanks

    Calling out from the database is possible (both versions) - it's called
    EXTPROC or External Procedure. Check the Oracle documentation and OTN's
    Oracle By Example for examples and details (or take Oracle's Advanced
    PL/SQL course <g>)

    Generally requires a PL/SQL 'call-out' and appropriate Oracle Networking
    setup.

    Have to admit, I've never attempted it from a trigger. Between Oracle's
    UTL_TCP, UTL_SMTP, UTL_FILE, I've rarely had to use call-outs though.
