I think you're wrong about that. I've seen postings here which mention a package called dbms_text. Unfortunately, I haven't worked with it, so I can't provide a lot of info.

It is supposed you give you the ability to read and write files.

It wasn't part of the earlier pl/sql releases. You might not have it on your system.

Sorry I can't give you more help. I hope this is enough to point you in the right direction, at least. Received on Fri Jun 07 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
