Connor,
So create directory can be used instead of the utl_file_dir
initialization parameter and can still be used with the utl_file
package? That's my only worry, as the docs lead me to believe that I
need to replace the use of utl_file with BFILEs
Once I have "created a directory", it remains available across database
shutdown and startup?
