John,
If you are having problems with access to files created by
Oracle via UTL_FILE, there is a simple workaround, at least
for unix systems.
Setting the SGID bit on a directory will cause all files
created in that directory to have the same group as the
directory, regardless of who creates it.
Here's how I've set this up in the past.
Create a directory for the UTL_FILE files.
mkdir /tmp/utlfile
Either use the group of the desired user, or create a
new group and and that use to it. Then change the group on
that directory, and set the SGID bit.
chgrp mygrp /tmp/utlfile
chmod g+s /tmp/utlfile
All files created in /tmp/utlfile will have a group of
'mygrp', regardless of the group of the creator.
