Audrey:

What you want is a cursor variable. A cursor variable references a cursor object and may refer to different SQL statements at different times. In your case, the most important benefit of the cursor variable would be that it provides a mechanism for passing results of queries (the rows returned by fetches against a cursor) between different PL/SQL programs.

Dear DBAs !
I need to write a stored proc that will do the following :
-- open a cursor ;

loop over the rows returned by the cursor , filter out some of the rows that do not match a certain criteria , do some processing on other rows (that match the criteria) and then return those rows (the processed data) to the calling program ( a PERL DBI script or a java program ) . Ho do U return those multiple rows to a calling program ? It's Oracle 8.0.5 , NOT 8i :-(

Thanks a lot in advance,
DBAndrey
