file manipulation in pl/sql

hi!

if i want to read or write to a file from within a pl/sql script, i'll use a package called utl_file. this package gives me access to the file system.

but if i want to move files, copy files or list the contents of a directory, how do i do that?

i've read that a package called dbms_pipe support this action, but i haven't found any examples.

thanks in advance, danne :-) Received on Fri Aug 06 1999 - 00:55:17 CDT
