I tried doing this

update v$parameter set value = 'D:\Paul' where name = 'utl_file_dir';

but it won't let me.

---

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02030: can only select from fixed tables/views

---

I have tried

SET PARAMETER utl_file_dir = 'D:\Paul'
SET PARAMETER utl_file_dir='D:\Paul'

I can't seem to set the damn thing!
