Hello!

What I have:

1. Machine with win xp and Oracle 10g r2 installed.
2. Text file on that machine. (e.g. in C:\2.txt).
3. DB on that machine.
4. I am located on remote machine, can only query sqlplus or smthg like that.

What I need:
1. Read all text from that file.
2. Get that text using some "select _____ from _____".

Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Use external tables to load the file
or
UTL_FILE to load it with pl/sql.
In either case, you need certain DBA privs to create the external directory.
Search forum/google for more details.

Create a Directory object pointing at the location of the file.
Grant Read on that directory to your user.
Use Utl_File to access the contents of the file.
