    Hi all

    How to execute the following procedure from SQL prompt

    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE Apack AS
    TYPE RefCurTyp IS REF CURSOR;
    END APACK;
    /

    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE demo_ref (
    refcurvar IN OUT Apack.RefCurTyp,
    choice NUMBER) IS
    BEGIN
    IF choice = 1 THEN
    OPEN refcurvar FOR SELECT * FROM emp;
    ELSIF choice = 2 THEN
    OPEN refcurvar FOR SELECT * FROM dept;
    ELSIF choice = 3 THEN
    OPEN refcurvar FOR SELECT * FROM salgrade;
    END IF;
    END demo_ref;
    /

    When execute using exec demo_ref(2) It gave error. It is not even taking null as first parameter. How should I pass the first parameter

    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 13:
    PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'DEMO_REF'
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
    PL/SQL: Statement ignored

    Thanks Pando

    Can I know How it is called from Java file?
    In case of function we need to pass only one variable that is 'choice' and we can place question mark there but here there are parameters of type cursor.

    To call the procedure you declared from java:
    Code:
    int choice = 1;
    String query = "begin demo_ref(?,?); end;"; 
    CallableStatement cstmt = conn.prepareCall(query); 
    cstmt.registerOutParameter(1,OracleTypes.CURSOR); 
    cstmt.setInt(2,choice); 
    cstmt.execute(); 
    ResultSet rset = (ResultSet)cstmt.getObject(1); 
    while(rset.next()) 
    { ... }
    cstmt.close();
    I think nobody's answering because it's not very easy to understand you need:
    In case of function we need to pass only one variable that is 'choice' and we can place question mark there but here there are parameters of type cursor.
    Do you mean function cannot have more than one parameter? Not true. It's the same as procedure and the difference is that function can return a value through it's name not just through a parameter as procedure does. If you had a function declared with refcursor return type and one parameter for choice you'd call it:
    Code:
    String query = "begin ? := func_demo_ref(?); end;"; 
    ...
    where the first question mark is a placeholder for return value - refcursor and the second one is a placeholder for choice. The rest of the code is the same as in the example above.
    If it is still unclear please post more detailed question.
    HTH,
