Hi,

In Oracle tables I have PDF files stored as CLOB, I want to download those files to another location(not oracle server). With utl_file API I can download it to another oracle directory but is there way to download to local machine to any other location other than Oracle server.

I want to download it thru either PL/SQL code or some script and I need to download on scheduled basis.
