Regarding a script tracking system

Question

hi all,
I have created one generalized system for script tracking on particulare user.
Suppose we have a one application user(DB) scripts -- to create user, DDL and DML etc.
and i future any patch script can also be there. and i want to keep track of all the scripts
which are run are not run etc
For that i have developed one java/ Pl-sql program which will get all the file which are exists in
one particular given folder.
Now i want to run all the scripts which are exists in that particlare folder and also
keep try of all the scripts which are already runned on that particular user by making one track_table.
my pl/sql code is as follows.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
DECLARE
     FILE_PATH_V      VARCHAR2(1000);
     VERSION_NO_V     VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
     FILE_PATH_V := '&FILE_PATH';
     FOR I IN (select COLUMN_VALUE from TABLE ( cast (GETFILES_FUN( FILE_PATH_V ) as List) ))
     LOOP
          if instr(UPPER(i.column_value),'.SQL') >0 THEN
               dBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(I.COLUMN_VALUE);
               -- EXEUCTE SCRIPT
          END IF;
     END LOOP;          
END;
/As i searched on net & forum i am not able to get the method to run the *.sql file in pl-sql block.
Any body have any other idea how i can achieve that?
Note:: I have not permission to change the sql files ......

Singh

This task could easily be done from the OS. But it is "almost" impossible in PL/SQL.
In unix you could do something like (crude pseudocode):
For file in all_files_in_folder_with_ending_sql do
     sqlplus user/password@database @file
     save $file in tracking file
end for
