Simple answer : No.

ProC is written to support Oracle calls within the C environment. Generally speaking, if you can do it somewhere with the Oracle enviroment, you can write something equivalent in proC. There are not major or magical additions to the proC environment. You have more control over the data. You do not have the limits of PL/SQL unless you are envoking PL/SQL.

Oracle is still and hopefully will remain a cursor based environment. To read data, you must execute a cursor of some sort -- implicit or explicit. The results must to read or collected by the application. proC does support host arrays, so it is possible to read a bunch of records at a time. However this is still not a 'table'.

Get a hold of the Application Development manuals -- there is a lot of good stuff to read.
