It's possible in Oracle9i as well, but you need to have the JServer
installed in the database, and use Java to do the directory listing.
As far as I know, it's the same in Oracle 10. The only related thing that
10g offers anew, is the possibility to call OS commands directly from
PL/SQL, using DBMS_SCHEDULER package. But the Problem there is that you
can't capture the output of the process, hence i.e. a dirlist can't be read
directly from PL/SQL.
If you want to run it inside the database, you'll have to use Java, or as
Niall suggested, external procedure calls. Though Java might be easier to
set up and get going - as there's ready-made examples on the web.
