1. Is it possible to search & manipulate LONG columns via PL/SQL?
2. Can we use implicit & explicit cursors interchangeably?
3. What is the advantage of using named notation in passing parameters to procedures?

Hi,
1. Yes, one can search & manipulate LONG columns via PL/SQL. See the PL/SQL scripts section for some examples.
2. Yes, you can use implicit & explicit cursors interchangeably.
3. Paramaters can be specified in any order if you use the named notation.
Hope it helps.
Best regards.
Frank Naude

Dear Frank,
Thanks for your reply.
Can you please give me an example how we can use implicit & explicit cursors interchangeably? I think it means instead of implicit cursors we can use explicit and implicit cursors instead of explicit. Thanks again.

Hi,
Below is an example, First am printing using explicit cursor and then later as implicit cursor :
DECLARE
cursor c_emp IS
select empno, ename
from emp;
l_empno emp.empno%TYPE;
l_ename emp.ename%TYPE;
BEGIN
-- Explicit Cursor
OPEN c_emp;
LOOP
FETCH c_emp INTO l_empno, l_empname;
EXIT WHEN c_emp%NOTFOUND;
dbms_output.put_line (l_empno ||' '||l_empname);
END LOOP;
CLOSE c_emp;
-- Implicit Cursor
FOR c_rec IN c_emp LOOP
dbms_output.put_line (c_rec.empno||' '||c_rec.ename);
END LOOP;
END;
Hope it helps
Thanks
Amit
