Dear DBA Gurus, How to have a database trigger initiate a 4GL such as Java - or a way for PL/SQl to issue the necessary PUT commands to the queues? Any help would be appreciated. I found a workaround for a similar kind of situation in www.orafans.com. The following is the workaround: Call a pl/sql procedure in the trigger. In this database procedure pack the arguements in a database pipe using standard oracle dbms_pipe package syntax of pack and send. write a pro*c program to read this pipe and unpack the arguements and do the neccessary processing. Has anybody done this before? If so, could you tell me how to do this?
