| Dear Group,
|
| We have a third party supplied package which we do not want to change.
|
| I would like to update a table with a value from the procedure. I can
| use PL/SQL to do that. But our tool does not support PL/SQL, i have
| to use SQL.
|
| Something like
|
| SQL> var res varchar2(30)
| SQL> exec test_procedure(res);
| SQL> update my_table set col1=:res where ...
|
| But our application does not even support that. I have to do
| something like
| SQL>update my_table set col = (:test_procedure)
|
| or something like
| SQL>update my_table set col =(select :test_procedure from dual);
|
| Anyway we can make this into one SQL?
|
| Thanks very much

Create a function that calls the procedure and returns the out parameter of the procedure, then you can use it in update.
