Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Removing files with PL/SQL
Sure.
use utl_file utility.
Write to a file , that another process reads, have it execute the command.
Minor security hole but, it will work. Need to make parse strings so nothing
'bad' gets written to the file.
Or
Have a process, read a table that has files to be deleted ( we use this in house)

Good suggestion, but 'host' only works within SQLPLUS (unless I am mistaken). Any other ideas?

How about the host command. This will shell out to the os and process the command.
host erase c:\my_dir\my_file.txt

Does anyone know of a way to remove files from an O/S file system using PL/SQL without calling a java or an external C routine?
Thanks,
