Re: utl_file.fopen and Oracle v9

ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FI LE", line 18
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FI LE", line 424

Can anybody propose what to do

Thanks


I had the same problem. This is how I managed it:

- connect to the database as SYSDBA.

- go to "Instance\Confi guration" -"All Initialization
Parameters..." button

- choose "SPFile" radiobutton and scroll to "utl_file_d ir" parameter

- here, write in "Value" field the directory you want to use (i.e.
C:\my_dir)

- apply and... voila! must work now

Good luck!

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
