Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> How to browse folders in PL/SQL
Hi! All,
Is there a way to find all the files in a directory/folder within PL/SQL (9.2.0.5) without using external procedure calls? Ideally, I want to loop through all the files in the directory performing some operation on each file.
I can, of course, do this in UNIX by writing a shell script to generate the SQL to call the process for each file, but a pure PL/SQL implementation would be more elegant and would be platform independent. For the time being, I am using a Java procedure (courtesy Tom Kyte).
Cheers,
Vasan.
