Anand,

As promising as Oracle 8i seems to be, you don't need to wait for it's release before you can upload files to the operating system's File system.

The Oracle Webserver supports the standard CGI interface along with all the databased programming interfaces supported by it.

You can use a standalone perl interpreter with one of the numerous free Perl scripts that do file upload that generously sprinkled around the web. www.perl.com may be one possible starting point.

I have written/adapted such a script in the past, but don't know if it would help (seeing as I made it more specialised from the freeware I originally found).

Feel free to email me if you have further problems with this.

Cheers
Eddie
