I have a directory that another process will be placing files in and I will
be processing them using the UTL_FILE package. I wish there was a way to
list the contents of a directory from PLSQL but I don't think that there is.
My solution at this point is cron out a ksh script that will check the
directory and call the procedure to handle the file. I need to check if the
file is still being written to. I am checking to see if the file is
writable but even when the file was opened by another session using VI it
came back as writable so that does not appear to work. What are your
solutions to this problem. Some of my other thoughts are to have the
processes writing the file to only make the file readable to other processes
once it is complete?
Thanks,
Ethan
