Re: Can PL/SQL Read Indexed Files?

Through the UTL_FILE package, PL/SQL can read and write ascii text (that
is, "sequential") files. However, no package exists to read binary files
such as an indexed file.



A possible work-around: write a Pro* program that reads the files and
communicates with PL/SQL via database pipes (DBMS_PIPE package)
