Re: Max # of Open Files for UTL_FILE in 7.3.4.3

2001-04-04 Thread David A. Barbour

Waleed,

That is an answer.  Opening and closing the files might be an option. 
Unfortunately, I have to work within the environment I was given.  The
application from which I'm extracting the data is poorly designed. 
Space and memory are a problem, and the table containing the master
records is heavily chained and contains 27 million rows.  Sorts, orders
and groups are not an option.

Thanks.

 Greetings,
 
 Had an situation today in 7.3.4.3 running on AIX v4.2.  I was extracting
 data to several different files based on the date record using
 UTL_FILE.  I found I couldn't have more than 10 files open at any given
 time.  I know the default in 8i is 50 files, but I looked on OTN and
 couldn't find either the default number of files (has to be 10) or any
 way to change it for 7.3x.
 
 Does anyone know if it can be increased and how?
 
 Thanks,

column and opening, writing to, and closing a file for every unique value
