RE: Alternatives to using utl_file

sorry i'm coming in on this thread late, so if thats already been 
discussed or is not feasible, feel free to hit delete now. :)

if you're doing things dynamically, use the create directory command and 
then you dont' have to mess with utl_file_dir.  You can create the 
directory on the fly, use it and then drop it if need be.

OK, thanks
 
The biggest issue I have with utl_file is needing to define utl_file_dir=
 
Since the directories we need to access are not known till run time we 
have to specify utl_file_dir=*, which is a security nightmare.
