    Question Stored Procedure Output Parameter 'is table'

    Can some one advise how to return a 'table' type as output parameter from a stored procedure.

    I have a front-end reporting apps that needs multiple-rows as result set (not via cursors). I was told to use a stored procedure that returns 'table' type variables.

    I created this package below, but do not know how to test it from SQLPLUS window, to prove that it returns data...

    The front-end apps is not Oracle (it is Actuate product). So if you also know what the front-end developers need define the bind variables?


    Thanks in advance.

    --

    --Use pl/sql tables 12/12/2002 test with psql type tables

    Hi,
    Test it should be something like this:

    set serveroutput on
    clear

    declare
    this_fld1_tab pkg_test.Fld1TabType;
    this_fld2_tab pkg_test.Fld2TabType;
    i integer;
    begin
    pkg_test.usp_ProcTest1(this_fld1_tab,this_fld2_tab);
    i := this_fld1_tab.first;
    while i is not null
    loop
    dbms_output.put_line('Fld1: '||this_fld1_tab);
    dbms_output.put_line('Fld2: '||this_fld2_tab);
    i := this_fld1_tab.next(i)
    end loop;
    end;
    /

    I don't have an answer to "How to bind it in the front-end"
    Regards

    Thumbs up

    Greate. Thank you.
    It worked for me (with minor modifications)

    ----
    declare
    this_fld1_tab pkg_test.Fld1TabType;
    this_fld2_tab pkg_test.Fld2TabType;
    i integer;
    begin
    pkg_test.usp_ProcTest1(this_fld1_tab,this_fld2_tab);
    i := this_fld1_tab.first;
    while i is not null
    loop
    dbms_output.put_line('Fld1: '||to_char(this_fld1_tab(i)));
    dbms_output.put_line('Fld2: '||this_fld2_tab(i));
    i := this_fld1_tab.next(i);
    end loop;
    end;
    /
