RE: utl_file_dir

Hi Chris,

    Thanks for the update.

     But my question is how many number of files can mentioned for utl_file_dir and not the size of each file.
     is there limit for number of files?(not size)
     is it unlimited number of files?(not size)
   

  Thanks,
  Edwin.K

The limitation is the size: 512 bytes.

If you are in 9.2 or higher it is better to use DIRECTORY objects instead. With them you don't have this limitation and in addition you can correctly manage security.
