usage of symbolic link in utl_file_dir
How to use symbolic link in utl_file_dir. The environment is oracle 10g on solaris 10g.
Early help is appreciated.
Thanks,

If your os is Windoze, it will not work.
Otherwise for unix, just code/add the link on utl_file_dir parameter.

set the parameter as utl_file_dir as '*' , but not able to access the directory using symbolic link.
By giving direct path able to access file, but not through symbolic link.
thanks

why are you still using utl_file_dir in 10g? Is it any legacy application requirement? If not, you can try using Oracle directory method.
