Re: returning pl/sql tables in C

/*
A great simplification of the Oracle supplied CDEMO4. Uses obndra to bind an array of chars to a PL/SQL table. Note

           that it is not possible to bind PL/SQL tables of records, only PL/SQL tables of simple types like numbers or varchars. */

/*

create or replace package test_pkg as
  type array is table of varchar2(20) index by binary_integer;   procedure test_proc(v_array out array); end;
/

create or replace package body test_pkg as   procedure test_proc(v_array out array) is     cursor c1 is select loc from dept;
  begin
    open c1;
    for i in 1..4 loop
      fetch c1 into v_array(i);
    end loop;
  end;
end;
