utl_file issue

I have an issue in usage of utl_file package. I have setup
utl_file_dir parameters correctly on the database side.

Basically my goal is to convert csv files into table-structure. I do
not know the table structure as I have to create the table based on
the first line of the csv file. I stored all my csv files into one
directory and assign that directory in utl_file_dir paramater. When I
try to open the file in read mode - it gives me an error "ORA-29283:
invalid file operation". Now funny thing is - i get these message for
certain files only - not for all file.
Can anybody help me out to figure it out!
Thanks.

Shilpesh,

What operating system are running Oracle on?
What version of Oracle are you running?

Does the user who owns the Oracle instance have read permission to
those files? For example, if there is a userid called "oracle", then
that userid will need read permission to the files you are wanting to
read.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
