This is an article I found in technet about this issue. PLease note that it will only work with Microsoft Oracle ODBC driver.

Retrieve Typical Resultsets From Oracle Stored Procedures

SUMMARY This article shows how to create an RDO project that will return a typical Resultset from an Oracle stored procedure. This article builds on the concepts covered in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article: Q174679 - HOWTO: Retrieve Resultsets from Oracle Stored Procedures.

MORE INFORMATION Knowledge Base article Q174679 gives an in-depth example of all the possible ways to return a Resultset from a stored procedure. The example in this article is a simplified version. Please refer to Q174679 if you want more information about the process.

NOTE: The Resultsets created by the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle v2.0 using Oracle stored procedures are READ ONLY and STATIC. To retrieve a Resultset requires that an Oracle Package be created.

The sample project in this article was created in Visual Basic 5.0 and uses RDO to access and manipulate the Resultsets created by the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle v2.0. You will need to have this driver to use the Resultsets - from-stored-procedures functionality discussed in this article and KB Q174679. (currently, it is the only driver on the market that can return a Resultset from a stored procedure). If you want more information about using RDO 2.0 with Oracle, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

   ARTICLE-ID: Q167225
   TITLE : HOWTO: Access an Oracle Database Using RDO

This article is in two parts. The first part is a step-by- step procedure for creating the project. The second is a detailed discussion about the interesting parts of the project.

Step-by-Step Example

1.Run the following DDL script on your Oracle server:

      DROP TABLE person;

      CREATE TABLE person (
       		ssn     NUMBER(9) PRIMARY KEY,
fname   VARCHAR2(15),
        	lname   VARCHAR2(20));

      INSERT INTO person VALUES(555662222,'Sam','Goodwin');
      INSERT INTO person VALUES(555882222,'Kent','Clark');
      INSERT INTO person VALUES(666223333,'Janet','Reno');

      COMMIT;

/

2.Create the following package on your Oracle server:

      CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE packperson
      AS

          TYPE tssn is TABLE of  NUMBER(10) INDEX BY
BINARY_INTEGER;
          TYPE tfname is TABLE of VARCHAR2(15) INDEX BY
BINARY_INTEGER;
          TYPE tlname is TABLE of VARCHAR2(20) INDEX BY
BINARY_INTEGER;
          PROCEDURE allperson(ssn    	OUT     tssn,
                   		fname  	OUT     tfname,
                   		lname  	OUT     tlname);
          PROCEDURE oneperson(onessn 	IN      NUMBER,
       ssn    	OUT     tssn,
                   	       fname  	OUT     tfname,
                   	       lname  	OUT     tlname);
      END packperson;

/

3.Create the following package body on your Oracle server:

      CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY packperson
      AS
      PROCEDURE allperson(ssn   OUT     tssn,
                   	   fname  OUT     tfname,
                   	   lname  OUT     tlname)
      IS
          CURSOR person_cur IS
                  SELECT ssn, fname, lname
                  FROM person;
          percount NUMBER DEFAULT 1;

      BEGIN
          FOR singleperson IN person_cur
          LOOP
                  ssn(percount) := singleperson.ssn;
                  fname(percount) := singleperson.fname;
                  lname(percount) := singleperson.lname;
                  percount := percount + 1;
          END LOOP;
      END;

      PROCEDURE oneperson(onessn  IN    NUMBER,
                   	    ssn    OUT   tssn,
                          fname   OUT   tfname,
                          lname   OUT   tlname)
      IS       CURSOR person_cur IS
                   SELECT ssn, fname, lname
                   FROM person
                   WHERE ssn = onessn;

           percount NUMBER DEFAULT 1;

       BEGIN
           FOR singleperson IN person_cur
           LOOP
                   ssn(percount) := singleperson.ssn;
                   fname(percount) := singleperson.fname;
                   lname(percount) := singleperson.lname;
                   percount := percount + 1;
           END LOOP;
       END;
       END;
       /

4.Open a new project in Visual Basic 5.0 Enterprise edition. Form1 is created by default.

5.Place the following controls on the form:

   Control Name Text/Caption


   Button      cmdGetEveryone   Get Everyone
   Button      cmdGetOne        Get One

6.From the Tools menu, select the Options item. Click the "Default Full Module View" option, and then click OK. This allows you to view all of the code for this project.

7.Paste the following code into your code window:

      Option Explicit
      Dim Cn As rdoConnection
      Dim En As rdoEnvironment
      Dim CPw1 As rdoQuery
      Dim CPw2 As rdoQuery
      Dim Rs As rdoResultset
      Dim Conn As String
      Dim QSQL As String
      Dim tempcnt As Integer

      Private Sub cmdGetEveryone_Click()





         Set Rs = CPw1.OpenResultset(rdOpenStatic,
rdConcurReadOnly)

         While Not Rs.EOF

            MsgBox "Person data: " & Rs(0) & ", " & Rs(1) & ", " & Rs(2)

            Rs.MoveNext

         Wend

         Rs.Close

         Set Rs = Nothing

      End Sub

      Private Sub cmdGetOne_Click()

         Dim inputssn As Long

         inputssn = InputBox("Enter an SSN number:")

         CPw2(0) = inputssn

         Set Rs = CPw2.OpenResultset(rdOpenStatic, rdConcurReadOnly)

         MsgBox "Person data: " & Rs(0) & ", " & Rs(1) & ", " & Rs(2)

         Rs.Close

         Set Rs = Nothing

      End Sub

      Private Sub Form_Load()

         [ASCII 145]Change the text in <> to the appropriate logon

         [ASCII 145]information.
         Conn = "UID=<your user ID>;PWD=<your password>;" _
                 & "DRIVER={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle};" _
                 & "SERVER=<your database alias>;"

         Set En = rdoEnvironments(0)
         En.CursorDriver = rdUseOdbc
         Set Cn = En.OpenConnection("", rdDriverNoPrompt,
False, Conn)

         QSQL = "{call packperson.allperson({resultset 9, ssn, fname, " _

              & "lname})}"

         Set CPw1 = Cn.CreateQuery("", QSQL)

         QSQL = "{call packperson.oneperson(?,{resultset 2, ssn, fname, " _

              & "lname})}"

         Set CPw2 = Cn.CreateQuery("", QSQL)

      End Sub

      Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)

         En.Close

      End Sub

8.Run the project.

When you click the "Get Everyone" button, it executes the following query:

   QSQL = "{call packperson.allperson({resultset 9, ssn, fname, "_

            & "lname})}"
This query is executing the stored procedure "allperson," which is in the package "packperson" (referenced as "packperson.allperson"). There are no input parameters and the procedure is returning three arrays (ssn, fname, and lname), each with 9 or fewer records. As stated in Q174679, you must specify the maximum number of rows you will be returning. Please refer to the Microsoft ODBC Driver for Oracle Help File and Q174679 for more information on this issue.

When you click on the "Get One" button, you see an input box that prompts you for an SSN. Once you input a valid SSN and click OK, this query is executed:

   QSQL = "{call packperson.oneperson(?,{resultset 2, ssn, fname, "_

           & "lname})}"

The stored procedure, packperson.oneperson, uses a single input parameter as the selection criteria for the Resultset it creates. Just like packperson.allperson, the Resultset is constructed using the table types defined in packperson. (See Q174679 for more information.)

NOTE: You can only define input parameters for Oracle stored procedures that return a Resultset. You cannot define output parameters for these stored procedures.

These two stored procedures cover the basic uses of stored procedures that return Resultsets. The first one gives you a predefined set of records (such as everyone) and the second will gives you a set of records (or just one record) based on one or more input parameters. Once you have these Resultsets, you can do inserts, updates, and deletes either through stored procedures or SQL that you create on the client.
