Nope. But having it vary by instance might be in conflict with various RAC features such as load balancing and failover. As others pointed out, utl_file_dir is obsolescent, and database directory objects are the preferred control for utl_file and other features. Since they reside in the database, directory objects are the same on all RAC instances. Received on Thu Mar 30 2006 - 18:42:57 CST
