OK.
He can still use a ref cursor with native dynamic sql.
No need for the execute immediate verb, though.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_my_cursor
(p_column IN <your choice>,
p_table IN <your choice>,
p_predicate IN <your choice>,
p_jobid IN dept.jobid%TYPE,
p_cursor OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
sql_stmt VARCHAR2(1000);
job_rec dept%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
sql_stmt := 'SELECT job_name, :c
FROM :t
WHERE :w > :j';
OPEN p_cursor FOR sql_stmt
USING p_column, p_table, p_predicate, p_jobid;
LOOP
FETCH p_cursor INTO job_rec;
EXIT WHEN p_cursor%NOTFOUND;
.
.
.
END LOOP;
CLOSE p_cursor;
- Or pass it as an OUT parameter, above.
END;
