Pete,

Believe me, the goal IS to get the files onto the file system, but > it's not going to happen with this release of the app that I'm building. > Opps... Apologies.... Don't know how I missed that one sentence.... Read all the rest about re-building an icky PL/SQL application, but totally missed that one sentence... Ok. Now I've read it and not being funny, but why bother? Theoretically, there should only be a couple of occassions when you will be accessing the file. One is when a user uploads a file to the server and the other is when a user downloads it. Rather than mess on trying to push and pull the files out of the database, why not replace those bits of code with some very simple code that pulls and pushes the files from the appropriate places on the app server??? Its probably costing you more in time to try and exactly replicate the application code, when you could replace now some of the bits that you know you're going to change later.
