I have the following procedure:
Create or replace procedure test (
return_cur OUT type.ref_cursor
) IS
BEGIN
Open return_cur FOR SELECT * from testTable;
END;
(my type.ref_cursor is just defined as REF CURSOR)
My question is 2 parts:
1) if done this way, do I need to close my cursor explicitly (and how do I do it, keeping a result set output)
2) is there a more efficient way to do this? I need to dump the entire contents of a table to a result for the purpose of building a cache (hashtable) in java.
Thanks,
Rob Simpson
