    ok, i just realize that it's not possible. Because Oracle won't do any inserts or other DML Operations on the External table.

    But, to perfom my task, is it possible to create a View on the external table and using a INSTEAD OF Trigger to transform and copy the data to an internal Oracle table?

    Am i'm missing something?

    thanks...

    Why do you need a trigger and view to insert external table rows into another table?

    Just use simple insert statement.

    Hi,

    where would i use the simple insert statement, to do the insert into a table automatically (as soon as the external table is available)?

    thanks...
