Please note that this Suite is free, so this is not a commercial ad, otherwise I would have posted it to c.d.o.marketplace. :) UTL_BinFile Suite v1.03 is available for download at http://www.dpsp-yes.com. The suite consists of PL/SQL package and some Java classes and allows PL/SQL developers to work with binary files in Oracle server's file system (reading into BLOBs, writing to BLOBs, listing, deleting, renaming, creating directories), and ZIP/JAR archives (extracting, listing). Functions for compressing/decompressing BLOBs using deflate or gzip methods are also available. Security is controlled via Java2 Security Policy. The suite is free for any kind of use, whether commercial or not, and sources are included (not for the Java part - sorry, but I intend to keep them private.) However, it's not covered by GPL or any other kind of public license. I realize most of you people here could write a package with the same functionality pretty quickly as it's mostly trivial, but why reinvent the wheel? If you think it was waste of time - so be it, but please don't send bombs to my mailbox. ;) Comments and suggestions are welcome though. Hope it will be of use to you. -- Vladimir Zakharychev (bob@dpsp-yes.com) http://www.dpsp-yes.com Dynamic PSP(tm) - the first true RAD toolkit for Oracle-based internet applications.
