Datapump Directory.

 Hi,
I am thinking of using Oracle External Table utility to load data from a flat file to Oracle Database. I have a restriction that i can't access the OS level files or create as don't have OS level access.

I want to know is there any way i can create a Directory pointing to some other Host where i have access at OS level, and place the the flat (.dat) files and able to access those with the help of ORACLE_DATAPUMP external table utility.

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks.

Howdy, Stranger!
