OVMS: RMS file on open VMS and Oracle External Tables

Hi

We have RMS database that resides on VMS. We were wondering if it would be possible for us to copy the *.dat files (RMS data files) and then create a directory and then read that file using Oracle External Table feature and then load it into heap table using insert into heap table select * from external table

would it be possible to do this? Any caveats?

Thanks
