Re: Extracting data to client PC from server

No, it doesn't, unless of course you hook up a drive with NFS on the server. IMO, this is perfectly logical, the pl/sql runs at the server, writing at the client would violate this idea. It isn't probably also possible as the engine is of course completely sql oriented and utl_file is a recent addition.
