I thought this would be easy but I'm not  figuring it out nor am I able
to find it in all my searching.

 

I want to create a directory for the current directory.  I want to do
this programmatically in SQLPlus with or without PL/PQL is fine. 

 

CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY SQL_FILE_LOCATION AS  <current directory
here>;

 

It doesn't appear to be in SYS_CONTEXT.  

 

Yes I know I can do a HOST CD in SQLPlus to see the current directory,
but how to I put the output of that that into the CREATE command? 

 

Thanks!
