Re: referring to a temp table in a procedure?

[Quoted] If I declare a RECORD type and populate it, how can I loop thru it? For example:

DECLARE    TYPE EmpRecType IS RECORD

        (empno    NUMBER,
         ename    VARCHAR2(15),
         sal      NUMBER(10,2));

   EmployeeRec EmpRecType;

BEGIN
    SELECT empno, ename, sal INTO EmployeeRec FROM mydept;

• then DBMS_OUTPUT all the rows
• please fill in... END;
