File Permissions on Oracle Directories for other Operating System Users

Question

Hi,
I am trying to export the table data to flat file using a pl/sql function using UTL_FILE package and directories created using 'CREATE DIRECTORY' command. The function is called from a stored procedure which in-turn is called from a Java program using JDBC and the Java process runs as different operating system user. The problem for me is the file exported is being written as 'ORACLE' user with 'OINSTALL' group and '-rw-r--r--' linux file permissions. When I try to read this exported file from the java program it throws me a file access error.
I would like to know if we can specify any additional parameters either in
1) Database parameter file
2) UTIL_FILE.FOPEN function
3) CREATE DIRECTORY command
so that the files written to the DIRECTORY have a read write access.

Answer 1

Since you attempting to read the file from Java, you are constrained by the OS.
Write a stored proc to read the file, since PL/SQL does have the correct permissions to read/write to files.
