we are using oracle 9iHere's a basic example for you...
AS SYS:
create or replace directory TEST_DIR as 'c:\test_dir'; -- This creates an oracle directory object.  The actual operating system directory must be created manually
grant read,write on directory test_dir to my_user;  -- Grant permission to use that directory object to the required user(s)AS my_user:
declare
  cursor cur_emp is
    select ename, deptno
    from emp;
  v_fh UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;  -- This is a file handle
begin
  v_fh := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('TEST_DIR', 'file.txt', 'w', 32767);  -- Open the file for writing and obtain a handle to it
  FOR i IN cur_emp -- process the query in a loop
  LOOP
    UTL_FILE.FPUT_LINE(v_fh, i.ename||','||to_char(i.deptno,'fm099')); -- write out lines of text to the file
  END LOOP;
  UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_fh); -- Close the file (also flushes any unwritten buffered data).
end;
