    I think shes talking about writing to client hard disk and not the server.

    Is that possible using UTL_FILE ?

    Hi Anu

    Nope you Cannot do it in pl/sql with utl_file package .You should do it in some client program.

    for example if your using sql * plus try spool filename .If you are using developer 2000.Then there is something else.

    Pl/sql was not designed to do client side file-IO

    Can't we try this by writing a JAVA CLASS and upload into Oracle.

    Sorry press the submit button before finishing the whole stuff.

    Can't we try this by writing a JAVA CLASS which will write to the client machine using fileoutputstream. Read using fileionputputstream

    Do u mean this...

    If its a windows 200 server

    The client drive must be a domain share on the db server.

    Utl_file parameter needs to be set to '*'.

    theres security issue with parameter setting to '*'

    Anyone has done this kinda stuff.
