    Hi,

    Ref cursors in perl will code all sql in the script, I do not want that. Basically, I have written a procedure which returns many values. How do i execute this procedure in a perl script?

    For example, the following codes only return one row from the procedure. How do i return many rows from the procedure to the perl code?

    my $sth=$dbh->prepare("begin testproc(:in1,:in2,:in3,: out1,: out2,: out3); end;");
    $sth->bind_param("in1",1);
    $sth->bind_param("in2",1.1,2,1);
    $sth->bind_param("in3","hello");
    my $out1;
    my $out2;
    my $out3;
    $sth->bind_input_param("out1",\$out1,20);
    $sth->bind_input_param("out2",\$out2,20);
    $sth->bind_input_param("out3",\$out3,20);

    From the code, I don't have the slightest idea of what you are trying to do. What does testproc look like?

    Hi

    I have changed my procedure (testproc) to return the multiple rows of data as a ref cursor type. I can execute it in sqlplus as shown below :

    var data ref cursor
    begin
    testproc(:data)
    end;

    In this case, how to I execute this procedure from perl?

    Thanks, I read that before, I just want to confirm that the following codes means that I have to use my ref cursor procedure (define cursor type and including sql statements) inside the perl script and cannot be called directly from perl script like a normal procedure right?

    #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

    use strict;

    use DBI;

    use DBD::Oracle qw(ra_types);

    my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Oracle:','scott','tiger') or die $DBI::errstr;

    my $sth1 = $dbh->prepare(q{create or replace package types as

    type cursorType is ref cursor;

    end;});

    $sth1->execute;

    > >

    $sth1 = $dbh->prepare(q{


    create or replace function sp_ListEmp return types.cursorType

    as l_cursor types.cursorType;

    begin

    open l_cursor for select ename, empno from emp order by ename;

    return l_cursor;

    end;});

    $sth1->execute;

    $sth1 = $dbh->prepare(q{

    BEGIN
    :cursor := sp_ListEmp;
    END;

    });

    my $sth2;

    $sth1->bind_param_inout(":cursor", \$sth2, 0, { ora_type => ORA_RSET } );

    $sth1->execute();

    while ( my @row = $sth2->fetchrow_array ) { print join("|",@row),"\n"; }
