Hi friends I have one query about utl_file in Oracle. Actually I want to write a file on map drive which is mapped to database server but whenever I tried to write on this drive, it's give me "INVAID OPERATION" error. Do you have any ideas about how to write a file on map drive or is this possible? Otherwise I have to write a java program to transfer file from local drive to map drive but it's long way, Could you please let me know, is this possible to do using utl_file or not.If yes then inform me how to get it.
