I guess you could use UTL_HTTP or similar to read from a webserver; and of
course you can read from files defined as external tables
You could use external procedures to read, write.
You could use a flat file gateway.
It would help to know what are you actually trying to achieve, and why is
UTL_FILE not what you need?
