Re: executing a query in a Stored Procedure

Neal,

For what you are trying to do, you just might find it helpful to reference documentation on the OCI (Oracle Call Interface). This is the API that allows you to embed SQL calls into C programs. I have not worked with it a lot, but I do remember that there were examples of returning result sets from a procedure to a calling C program via arrays. I would guess that the JDBC API should be able to do the same kind of thing.
This documentation and examples come with the Programmer/2000 package. Sorry I can't be more specific.
