Invalid directory path error while connecting to database I am using oracle 11g and using sqldeveloper to run/edit queries.

My table is:

ID     FIRST_NAME   LAST_NAME    MAJOR                 CURRENT_CREDITS
10008   A            Dd          Computer Science         2
10009   B            DD          History                  3
10010   D           dd           Computer Science         3
10011   C           ad           Economics                3
10012   D           Da           History                  3
10013   E           df           History                  3


Above table is in CSV format (lect.csv) stored in D:\1Deepak\Data.

I have created below procedure to import the csv file in oracle, but it’s not working getting below error :


  Connecting to the database r.
  
  ORA-29280: invalid directory path
  
  ORA-06512: at "SYSTEM.LOADLECTURER", line 39

  Process exited.
  
  Disconnecting from the database r.


Code :

create user D identified by d 
CREATE DIRECTORY log_dir AS 'D:\1Deepak\Data'; 
Grant all privileges to D;
Grant Read, Write on Directory log_dir to D;

CREATE TABLE lecturer (

  last_name        VARCHAR2(20),
  major            VARCHAR2(30),

  );

END Loadlecturer;


From where is the above mentioned error is coming?
I already had that problem. The thing is that Oracle saves your objects in Uppercase. When you use the FOPEN, you MUST use directory name in uppercase as well. Try this: 

v_FileHandle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN ('LOG_DIR','Lect.csv', 'r');
