Re: ResultSet from stored procedure in Oracle

There is a way to do it. Microsoft's Oracle ODBC driver supports it in a rather strange manner.

Check out the Microsoft Developers Network article Q176936, Q175018, Q176086 from the CD, I am not sure that they are included in the internet version of the MSDN.
