Daily we need to get some 40 records in to a file on Unix. I could use either of UTK_FILE and spool. Which is better and in what sense (like performance, reliability etc).
 
They're kind of neutral, but utl_file requires a bit more effort to implement.

Typically to do something like this I'd have a script to spool it to file. The script could be initiated by user request or run out of an AT or a cron command. Don't forget to spool off, either....
