How can i get the column name of a cursor dynamically.
The cursor select statement is <select * from emp>.

Very simple indeed. It doesn't work at all.

Where's the point in posting something full of errors?

Did you actually try it?

Here's a list of possible errors (and the ones you get after fixing a previous one):
- no DECLARE keyword
- Encountered the symbol "NOT" (should be "%NOTFOUND")
- PLS-00394: wrong number of values in the INTO list of a FETCH statement as variables are to be separated by comma, not semi-colon
- PLS-00394: wrong number of values in the INTO list of a FETCH statement once again, as the number of columns in 'emp' table is larger than number of variables you declared

Etc.; I don't feel like discovering a wheel.

Hi,
Matter is not so simple.
It is like that...
I don't know the column name of the declared cursor and I want to know the column names of the declared cursor through
program code.

Do you want the column names of the cursor or of the table 'emp'? If the latter then just make an inquiry of 'user_tab_columns' or 'all_tab_columns'.

Hi David,
This not only for EMP table and that can be any table.If i use join query in a cursor declaration then 'user_tab_columns' will not be useful for me.

My requiremet is as below:
declare
cursor abc is
select empno,ename,job,mgr,hiredate,sal,comm,dname
from emp a,dept b where a.deptno=b.deptno;
col varchar2(100)
begin
for i in abc
loop
for j in 1..8
loop
col := 'i.'||abc.columnname(j); <not possible>
message(col);
end loop;
end loop;
end;

Is this a real world exercise or a course? If the latter, then talk with you colleagues, work as a group.

What do you intend doing with this information?

Hello Devid,
This is a real life problem.I am making Excel file from Oracle table with respect to Dynamic SQL query.User will pass the sql statement through my Form and Excel file will be generated accordingly.

I googled 'how to find cursor column name' and found http://www.experts-exchange.com/Database/Miscellaneous/Q_22626717.html (you have to go to the bottom for the full answer.

Basically, use the 'dbms_sql' package 'describe' facility.
