It can be done if the "local" file is on the database server, using the utl_file package to read the file contents.

Can you tell us more about what it is that your want to achieve?

Mathias,

I want to create a new document revision with a local file check in by PLSQL. could you please share me sample of the code? thanks!

can the file in oracle database ‘Directories’ path? if no, I can try to move the file to database server folder.

Hope below post will give you some insight.

Hi Sahan,

thanks for the info, I have saw the codes yesterday, the file is empty, I want the file is point to a local file and can checkin to the document revision.

You basically can combine the code in the post shared by Sahan with using utl_file. And yes, you need a DIRECTORY object in Oracle to do it.

I think you need to put together the complete code yourself, or try with ChatGPT (it can actually produce PL/SQL code snippets).

Good luck!
