Re: Reading files on the server
Hi Gunnar, You can use utl_file, it doesn't read from the same directory, you specify utl_file_dir locations pre 9iR2 and directory objects 9iR2 onwards to where you want it to read from and then you open and read the fil3es you wish. You could also use external procedures and use C, you could use java database procedures? you could use an external table? hth kind regards Pete -- Pete Finnigan email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Web site: http://www.petefinnigan.com - Oracle security audit specialists Book:Oracle security step-by-step Guide - see http://store.sans.org for details. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Pete Finnigan INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

RE: Reading files on the server
There
are really two answers to this and it depends largely on what you want to
do. If you want to check for the existence of a file and generate an error
if it's not there, you can do something along the lines
of...
whenever oserror do something
!ls -l
$DIR/$FILENAME
Alternatively, if you want to do something that requires an action based
on something inside the log file, you have to run the SQLPLUS command as a
separate shell. Here's an example:
sqlplus EOF
userofchoice/incrediblysecretpassword
def
somevar=`grep -i yourvar $DIR/$FILENAME|awk '{print
$NForsomething}'`
def
somevar2=$SOMETHINGFROMEARLIERINTHISPGM
select
somevar*somevar2 from dual;
exit
EOF
HTH,
Bambi.

ORACLE-LSubject: Reading files on the server
Hi all,
I have a problem I hope you could help with.
I have a job running on db server side as a cron and it creates
information (log files). What methods I have if I want to read those log files
with some pl/sql procedure etc (I mean from inside the db), are there any
others than utl_file (which I suppose reads always at the same
directory...)
I am using 9iRel2 on Sun Solaris...
Thanks in advance
Gunnar

RE: Reading files on the server
Simplest if you know the format of the files ... use external
tables.
