Hey,

> How do I get the  file names from a certain directory in SQL?

It seems to me that you're trying to do things that are beyong SQL
really. SQL is about the database, not about a file system.

Yes, by creating a DBMS that allows you to write functions that
interact with the file system, you can do these things, but I wonder
if it's the right way to go.
