RE: Returning a COMPLETE record set from a stored procedure

You could return a REF cursor and then fetch from that ref cursor in your program. This situation is ideal compared to passing (around) collections.

Ok,  

    Maybe its just been a rough day, but looking at the docs (PLSQL Devleopers Guide), I only see that I can return only a record at a time.  

But say I want to return a complete recordset from a stored procedure to a C program, what would be my retrun type? Can I use a collection?  

The docs aren't clear on this and only show examples of retrunung a single rowtype.  

Any links (except to metalink - I dont have access) would be helpful,  

Thanks,  

    Hannah
