Re: cursor using select from subquery

It doesn't work on PL/SQL 2.1 (maybe even 2.2), meaning Oracle 7.1. It is a pain in the neck. I also have several queries like this to check on tablespaces and other things and to change to PL/SQL I have to rewrite the logic.

I have seen several references that this work in later versions.
