Hello,

> Why do you think you need pointers in PL/SQL? What's the task at hand?

At first it is a quite academic question, if it's possible at all. The task where this came to my mind was a package which uses two arrays internally. Both arrays hold different data, but the interface is the same. So I thought about adding a second parameter to the functions and procedures which tells what array I want to use. I tried substituting the two independend arrays with an array of arrays where I can use the index directly, but it gave me several strange errors during use. So I returned to the two array solution.
