You need an initialization parameter that allows you to write to a directory.

UTL_FILE_DIR Parameter type: string

Parameter class: static

Default value: none

Range of values: any valid directory path

UTL_FILE_DIR allows database administrators to specify directories that are permitted for PL/SQL file I/O. Each directory must be specified with a separate UTL_FILE_DIR parameter in the INIT.ORA file.

Note that all users can read or write all files specified in the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter(s). This means that all PL/SQL users must be trusted with the information in the directories specified by the UTL_FILE_DIR parameters. Received on Fri Mar 03 2000 - 22:47:31 CET
