Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem with returning values in a pl/sql table through a REF CURSOR. I want to return the value in my PL/SQL table back to .Net code through a REF CURSOR. I have code given below but the error comes as "PL/SQL: ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item"

Any idea, how can I implement the same? The oracle version is 10g. Also, I want the data to be in ordered way, i.e in whatever they are filled into the array structure.

DECLARE    
	CURSOR cur_rule_group_id IS
	SELECT org.rule_group_id rule_group_id, channel_ord.order_level 
		                FROM (SELECT channel_id, LEVEL order_level FROM channel_hierarchy  
									CONNECT BY PRIOR parent_channel = channel_id  
									AND PRIOR channel_id <> 0      
									START WITH channel_id = 113
							 ORDER BY LEVEL DESC
							 ) channel_ord, obr_rule_group org
						WHERE org.customer_set_id IS NULL
						AND org.channel_id = channel_ord.channel_id
						AND org.process_group = 1
						ORDER BY channel_ord.order_level DESC;

po_channel_rule_group  sys_refcursor;
				
	
	TYPE t_rule_condition IS RECORD
	         (lv_rule_id 				obr_rule_group_member.rule_id%TYPE,

You can only use the TABLE() function on a Nested Table Type that is declared on the database. Yours is a PL/SQL TYPE definition.

You will nead to create both the OBJECT TYPE (t_rule_condition) and the COLLECTION TYPE (typ_rule_condition) on the database, using CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE.

OK. so there is no way of doing it through PL/SQL type? If I use Global Temporaray table, will it be slower or have an performance impact?
