To test if the utl_file_dir path in the init.ora file can indeed be written to .
Login as sysdba –
1. Create a test procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure utl_file_test_write (
path in varchar2,
filename in varchar2,
firstline in varchar2,
secondline in varchar2)
is
output_file utl_file.file_type;
begin
output_file := utl_file.fopen (path,filename, ‘W’);
utl_file.put_line (output_file, firstline);
utl_file.put_line (output_file, secondline);
utl_file.fclose(output_file);
–exception
— when others then null;
end;
/
Now run a test –
begin
utl_file_test_write (
‘/tmp’,
‘utl_file_test’,
‘first line’,
‘second line’
);
end;
/
If ‘/tmp’ is not a part of the UTL_FILE_DIR path in the init.ora, then this test will fail.
