RE: Softball (I hope) - Current Directory in SQLPlus

This seems way to simple to have to invoke Java and the like.

Hi Ric,  

I recall Tom Kyte saying that handling advanced file/directory stuff is better handled in Java. Write a bit of Java code, write a PL/SQL wrapper, and you're in business. (And it should be portable.)  

I did a bit of quick searching on AskTom, but I didn't find anything. And I'm not at all a Java guy, so I'm in no position to try to write it myself.

Yea... was just hoping for something "simpler"...also it can't be OS dependent, as in it needs to run in widows, Unix, Linux, bla-bla-bal... Which is why I was looking for something within SQLPlus.

Generate the create directory command dynamically using the host sqlplus command, store it in a script
and execute it after that ?

[untested]
host "printf "create or replace directory my_dir as '%s';\n" "$PWD" > create_dir.sql"
_at_create_dir
...
