I looked at it now ;)

Alright, this is a possible solution for my problem:

I create a package with a procedure that has a REF CURSOR TYPE as one parameter and x_which_cursor as the second parameter. This procedure returns the cursor variable after opening the right one (depending on x_which_cursor).
And in the calling code, I fetch rows from the returned cursor variable...

Works (as it is described in the section starting with "To centralize data retrieval, you can group type-compatible queries in a stored procedure" in the document you pointed me at).

Anyway, I really would appreciate if I could parametrize these cursor variables! This does not work (as it is decribed with "Unlike cursors, cursor variables take no parameters.").

THX for poking my nose onto this interesting document! Alex Received on Tue Dec 03 2002 - 11:15:02 CST
