Result Sets from Stored Procedures In Oracle

Result Sets from Stored Procedures In Oracle
A frequently asked question is:

I@#d like to know whether ORACLE supports procedures (functions) which
returns result sets.

The answer is most definitely yes.  In short, it@#ll look like this:
 
create or replace function sp_ListEmp return types.cursortype
as
    l_cursor    types.cursorType;
begin
    open l_cursor for select ename, empno from emp order by ename;
    return l_cursor;
end;
/
With 7.2 on up of the database you have cursor variables.  Cursor variables are cursors opened by a pl/sql routine and fetched from by another application or pl/sql routine (in 7.3 pl/sql routines can fetch from cursor variables as well as open them). The cursor variables are opened with the privelegs of the owner of the procedure and behave just like they were completely contained within the pl/sql routine. It uses the inputs to decide what database it will run a query on.

Here is an example:
 
create or replace package types
as
    type cursorType is ref cursor;
end;
/ create or replace function sp_ListEmp return types.cursortype
as
    l_cursor    types.cursorType;
begin
    open l_cursor for select ename, empno from emp order by ename;     return l_cursor;
end;
/
examples for SQLPlus, Pro*C, Java/JDBC, ODBC, ADO/ASP, DBI Perl and OCI follow:
REM SQL*Plus commands to use a cursor variable variable c refcursor
exec :c := sp_ListEmp
print c

and the Pro*C to use this would look like:
static void process()
{
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
    SQL_CURSOR  my_cursor;
    VARCHAR     ename[40];
    int         empno;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;     EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR DO sqlerror_hard();     EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :my_cursor;     EXEC SQL EXECUTE BEGIN
        :my_cursor := sp_listEmp;
    END; END-EXEC;     for( ;; )
    {
        EXEC SQL WHENEVER NOTFOUND DO break;
        EXEC SQL FETCH :my_cursor INTO :ename, empno;         printf( "@#%.*s@#, %d\n", ename.len, ename.arr, empno );
    }
    EXEC SQL CLOSE :my_cursor;
}
And the java to use this could be:
 
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
  class curvar
{
  public static void main (String args [])
                     throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException
  {
      String driver_class = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
      String connect_string = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@slackdog:1521:oracle8";       String query = "begin :1 := sp_listEmp; end;";
      Connection conn;       Class.forName(driver_class);
      conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connect_string, "scott", "tiger");       CallableStatement cstmt = conn.prepareCall(query);
      cstmt.registerOutParameter(1,OracleTypes.CURSOR);
      cstmt.execute();
      ResultSet rset = (ResultSet)cstmt.getObject(1);       while (rset.next ())
        System.out.println( rset.getString (1) );
      cstmt.close();
  }
}

If you use ODBC here is a working example, but it requires the use of the
8.0.5.2.0 or later Oracle ODBC driver, and an 8.0.5 server.

@# 1) Create a form with 1 Text control (Text1) and 1 List Control (List1) and

Hello Tom, I was looking for such compilation of tipson the topic. I did not find the section about doingit using the popular perl DBI. After some fiddling Iget it working there too. Here is a complete workingexample following your model using perl DBI.
