Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: UTL_File -- invalid path error
this is so frustrating... I tried all the following
C:\\ oracle starts but value in v$parameter shows exactly as c:\\
and I get invalid path exception
c:\ oracle does not start shared memory realm does not exist
'c:\' same
"c:\" same
"c:\\" same
I'm running 9i under xp, I remember this used to work with 8i, I was using c:\\ there and it was working ok.
At this point I'm ready to try anything else someone might think it'll work.
