Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: utl_file_dir and 9i
Raj
Thanks for that. I notice that even using CREATE DIRECTORY method, it it still not posible to specify a parent directory and then have access to sub directories. Each directory must be specified in a CREATE DIRECTORY statement.
In our case, as we need to access a large number(hundreds) of sub directories, that we will need to issue large numbers of CREATE DIRECTORY statements.
Is this likely to cause any issues with Oracle?

Thanks for this. This looks the way to go. However, I am struggling to find an example.
If you can point me at an example, I would be grateful

John,
In 9i, Oracle is recommending that you make use of 'CREATE DIRECTORY' rather than UTL_FILE_DIR ... firstly because a directory can be created dynamically, so to adda new sub-directory you don't have to bounce the instance.
Plus instead of '*', you can dynamically create directory ... read/write and drop the directory if you wish.
I'd recommend you make use of this feature John, because UTL_FILE_DIR might just go away .... because of its limitations.

In 8i we set utl_file_dir = "*" because otherwise we have to specify lots of
individual directories. It was not possible to just specify a top level directory.
Has this changed in 9i? Is it possible to specify a top level directory and then utl_file can write to subdirectories?
