Re: Removing files with PL/SQL

How about the host command. This will shell out to the os and process the command.

host erase c:\my_dir\my_file.txt

Hey listers,

    Does anyone know of a way to remove files from an O/S file system using PL/SQL without calling a java or an external C routine?

Thanks,

Alan
