Transfer file to different server after it get created in DB server

Question

Hi All,
I have a unix shell script that runs in a Linux server and connects to database (using sqlplus of course) and creates a file using UTl_FILE package and which gets created in DB server. We are not actually supposed to create file in DB server as per company rules and regulations. But as a workaround until we find a solution, we are being allowed to create file in DB server then my DBA scp the file to the Linux server. This manual process of transferring the file has to be automated or if possible, it would be best if we can create the file in the target Linux server itself instead of DB server.
Is there any way of doing so or if this issue has been addressed in past, please provide me with the link. I tried to search in forum but couldn't fine one appropriate solution.
Thanks,
Samip

Answer 1

I am trying to find a work around. Instead of file creation, I am going for a PL/SQL process that will directly load into the target table.
I will try to explain my problem as much as possible.
Lets say I have a table A. It's a hierarchy table. X is the parent column while Y is the child one. '1' is the TOPmost in the hierarchy so, value in X corresponding to '1' is NULL.
Table A
X--------Y
----1
1-----     2
1-----     3
2-----     4
2-----     5
2-----     6
3-----     7
3-----     8
4-----     9
4-----     10
5-----     11
5-----     12
7------     13
7-----     14
11----     15
11----     16
I need to transform table A to table B like below:
Table B
L1----     L2----     L3----     L4----     L5
1----     1----     1----     1----     1
1----     2----     2----     2----     2
1----     3----     3----     3----     3
1----     2----     4----     4----     4
1----     2----     5----     5----     5
1----     2----     6----     6----     6
1----     3----     7----     7----     7
1----     3----     8----     8----     8
1----     2----     4----     9----     9
1----     2----     4----     10----     10
1----     2----     5----     11----     11
1----     2----     5----     12----     12
1----     3----     7----     13----     13
1----     3----     7----     14----     14
1----     2----     5----     11----     15
1----     2----     5----     11----     16
Here, each row (value in Y) in table A is processed and are put in correct Level. For example 1 has Level 1 So, it is under L1 and then rest of the columns are filled with 1. 2 has level 2, so it is put under L2 and the it parent is 1 so, 1 in L1 - obvious, then rest of the column filled with 2. Likewise 14 has level 4 so put under L4, then the hierarchy values upward are found and put under respective columns; L5 is entered 14. Basically the hierarchy up is calculated for each value in Y is calculated and put under respective level column in table B and then the rest of the columns are just filled with the column Y value that was processed.
Thanks in advance. Please help me on this write a procedure or any process that will accomplish this task.
Thanks,
Samip
