Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> PLSQL_V2_COMPAT?
Quoted material from Server8.1.5/Reference/Initialization Parameters:
"The PL/SQL compiler will allow OUT parameters to be used in expression
contexts in some cases (for example, in dot-qualified names on the
right-hand side of assignment statements). This behavior is restricted to a
few cases - fields of OUT parameters that are record, and OUT parameters
referenced in the FROM list of a SELECT statement.
In contrast, PL/SQL V3 does not permit OUT parameters to be used in
expression contexts.
PL/SQL will allow OUT parameters in the FROM clause of a SELECT list, where
their value is read."
I am interested in emulating the behavior experienced in Interbase, viz.,
SELECT a,b FROM myproc INTO ahold, bhold;
when myproc is a stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE myproc RETURNS (a int, b int) AS...
SO I'd like to interpret the Oracle behavior as SELECT a,b INTO ahold, bhold FROM myproc.a, myproc.b;
But, as you guessed, this fails with "myproc is not a table or view"
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks in Advance, Steve
