You can use external procedures to do this.

External procedures are a possibility but they have a disadvantage: they tend to break when things get upgraded (the database, the O/S, etc.). Can you use a Java class to do what you want? If yes, you can call Java from PL\SQL, and that should continue to work even when things get upgraded. Oracle encourages the use of Java rather than external procedures for tasks that PL\SQL cannot do by itself.
hi,
you dont have to use java,
if you have oracle client installed (sqlplus), you can use for instance perl this way
open(OIN,"$ORACLE_BIN/sqlp

set pagesize 90

column tablespace_name format a45 word_wrapped
column NEXT_EXTENT format 9999999999
column max_bytes format 9999999999
select 1 from dual
EOF | ")/256 ;
$line = "";
while (<OIN>){
chomp ;
s/\t//g;
if ($_ ne "" && $_ ne " "){
print $_ . "\n";
}
}
close (OIN);

you cannot do it directly. you will have to use front-end application like JAVA, or VB to use the Internet Explorer as your front-end (3-tire application).
