Why not return the second cursor with the results of the first cursor already wrapped in the second? Does this make sense? What they *really* want is the results from the second cursor. So why not just give it to them with enough items in the select list so they can get the data they want? Tom -----Original Message----- From: Duret, Kathy [mailto:kduret@starkinvestments.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 1:56 PM To: Oracle L (E-mail) Subject: is there a way to return multiple cursors from a query what I need to do is return a cursor from one query in a procedure.... no problemo What I need to do is : for every ID returned in the first query returned ....use this in the where condition of the child query. Yes they want two separate cursors returned. so a function is out. The first query is intensive so I don't want to execute it twice. This will be executed quite a bit and returns a fair amount of data.
