[Samba] Operating Windows files from Oracle

[Martyn Ranyard]

What you are asking isn't really specific enough.

1. What OS is the Oracle server running on?
2. How does Oracle access the files in utl_file_dir?

If this is linux, and just accessing files in a directory, then yes samba 
should help, as it will allow you to mount windows shares on a linux box.
