Good morning list,

We've inherited a database that loads external files as LOBS. The database (11.2.0.4) had previously resided on the same machine as the directory/LOBS, however now we're separating the database and the LOB files that it needs to load.

I've checked Oracle directories, and there doesn't appear to be a way to indicate a directory located on a remote server.

A colleague suggested an NFS mount on the remote server that would appear local to ours. Has anyone run into this and if so, how did you solve it? My google-fu seems to indicate that this might be accomplished via Direct NFS, but we've not tried it yet.

Thank you - Chris
