UTL_FILE , 18 of 18
FFLUSH
physically writes pending data to the file identified by the file handle. Normally, data being written to a file is buffered. The FFLUSH
procedure forces the buffered data to be written to the file. The data must be terminated with a newline character.
Flushing is useful when the file must be read while still open. For example, debugging messages can be flushed to the file so that they can be read immediately.
