Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: Open file from PL/SQL
Starting with version 7.3 of the server, you can use UTL_FILE (the server side implementation of the forms TEXT_IO package).
Prior to 7.3 you will need to use dbms_pipes to read a file. You would write a C program to read the file and use dbms_pipes to talk to the C program. To ease this process, you can look at PLEX found on http://govt.us.oracle.com under downloadable utilities.
