Set property 'Conceal Data' to 'Yes' in the property palette of the item you want to 'hide' the data typed in.

use the package utl_file to read/write in to a file in a location local to the database. Before that, the
parameter "UTL_FILE_DIR" should be initialized in INIT.ora

init.ora file will be present in
the

%oracle_home%/admin/ORCL/pfile directory.

here orcl is the SID of the instance.

set the parameter UTL_FILE_DIR to a directory location where the files can be created
