I assume this information is available in Oracle metadata tables, but where exactly ?
I need the directory object for BFILENAME as in this answer: Using PL/SQL how do you I get a file's contents in to a blob?
I tried:
select * from all_objects where object_type ='DIRECTORY';
OWNER OBJECT_NAME

But based on the output timestamps these are not the dirs created for me. This also doesn't show what is the real OS filepath for the object.
