I think there are java classes which can write across the network, but I'm unsure of
how those would be implemented, especially in Oracle. You might try posting a
question about this at devtrends.oracle.com or do a web search.

Utl_file only write to the database server. You can use Dbms_Output and
spool the results to the local machine. Or 'select' the data to be spooled
out.
Hope this helps!

Any help would be appreciated...
Is it possible to write a file to the local OS if the database is remote?
Should I be using UTL_FILE or another package?
I'm attempting to write to a file on my local OS (Windows NT 4.0). The
database version is 9i r2 and resides on a HP-UX box. I've created a
directory object as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY utl_file_dir AS 'c:\';
The output from the SQL statement: select * from all_directories; follows:
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_PATH
------------- ------------------------------ ----------------------------
SYS UTL_FILE_DIR c:\
File handle code from my procedure follows:
l_FileHandle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('UTL_FILE_DIR','role.txt','r');
When executing the associated procedure I get the following error:
ORA-29280: invalid directory path
Thanks, Eric Harrington
