Isn't JAVA supposed to be platform independent as well?? And NO there is no way in pl/sql.

Subject: 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).
