Printing a File From PL/SQL In Oracle 9i

Sudheer Kumar Mandava

Iam using Oracle 9i database. Iam generating reports through Database
Trigger into separater files. I want to print these files on frequent
intervals from Stored Procedure. Is it possible in Oracle 9i and how
do we proceed to do this?

I believe the package you want is DBMS_FILE.

There is a wonderful document called "Oracle9i Supplied PL/SQL Packages and
Types Reference" in the Oracle documentation set. I suggest anyone writing
PL/SQL wants to have a printed copy of the table of contents.

Check out DBMS_OUTPUT and UTL_FILE.

He is already using UTL_FILE to write the reports to a file. His
question was how to print them.

Sudheer-
You will have to use external procedures or Java to do that. check out
metalink on that.
