hi,

 the error message itself is the answer for your question.you need to have create directory privilege for that.

create directory dataload(directory_name) as 'c:/emp.csv';

not looking at the privilege error;
shouldn't it be a '\'?
create directory dataload(directory_name) as 'c:\emp.csv';

in init.ora
UTL_FILE_DIR='c:\mydir'
or
utl_file_dir=*
then restart the services or system
1. Login to sys or system as sysdba
2. Create directory utl_dir(directory name) as 'c:\mydir';
3. grant read, write to scott


start using utl_dir as oracle directory in scott
