ok - thanks i edited the trigger to insert a row into a dummy table, just to see if it works, and all works fine.
Now - the next piece. I want this trigger to call a stored procedure that runs as an autonomous txn and creates a public synonym for the newly-created table. I've verified independently that the proc works (from the SQL*Plus command line) and I know now that the trigger is being called, based on the previous test. so why wouldn't the public synonym be created? THANKS! ************************** Here's the text of the new trigger and procedure: CREATE OR REPLACE procedure CREATE_SYNONYMS ( p_lwowner varchar2, p_objname varchar2, p_objtype varchar2) AS pragma autonomous_transaction; v_lwowner varchar2(30) := p_lwowner; v_objname varchar2(30) := p_objname; v_objtype varchar2(30) := p_objtype; v_sql varchar2(200); begin v_sql := 'create public synonym ' || v_objname || ' for ' || v_lwowner || '.' || v_objname; execute immediate (v_sql); end; / CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER after_create_trg after create on lwdev.schema begin if sys.dictionary_obj_type='TABLE' OR sys.dictionary_obj_type='SEQUENCE' then begin create_synonyms ('lwdev', sys.dictionary_obj_name, sys.dictionary_obj_type); exception when others then null; end; end if; end; / -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 1:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill, A trigger cannot display output. Where would it go? A trigger does not run in an interactive session, it runs in the database independently, regardless of the presence or absence of a SQL Plus session.
