Re: execute immediate and cursor- example

OPEN curs FOR 'SELECT '||pname||' FROM '||psome_table should do the trick. Since OPEN is not an SQL statement, you can't execute it with EI the way you did. One way to do that (not recommended, but seemingly valid) is like this:

execute immediate
 'begin open :curs for select '||pname||' from '||psome_table||'; end;'  using in out curs;

but still OPEN cursor_var FOR 'dynamic statement' is clearer and should perform better.

Corrections and additions welcome.
