I believe that "directory" means an operating system directory, not an Oracle object. Why? Because the OP has saidQuote:how to create directory or folder I don't know anyone who calls Oracle "directory" a "folder". Do you?
So, if we suppose that I'm right and you're wrong*  , the OP will probably have to investigate use of the HOST built-in.

There's a character, Mrs Trunchbull, who is a school headmaster but hates children and shows that anytime, anywhere she can. One of her lines is ... well, search the link for "right" or "wrong".
Also, I *hope* you understand that I'm just kidding. I've seen people here taking jokes far too seriously these days.

This is an easy way to create a directory on the server -
exec dbms_scheduler.create_job('mkdir','executable','/bin/mkdir',1,auto_drop=>false);
exec dbms_scheduler.set_job_argument_value('mkdir',1,'/tmp/newdir');
exec dbms_scheduler.run_job('mkdir');
I'm trying to create directories on the client by using the remote external job facility, but I'm having trouble getting the scheduler agent to work. I think it is because I haven't got the security set up correctly. Has anyone done remote external jobs with 11.2?
