Thanks george for the links and apologies for my relaxed attitude. I did check up the
http://www.poitschke.de/libsqlora8/ site and went through the code.

Unfortunately it seems that won't solve my purpose.

Actually this code is written for Oracle8, which I believe doesnot support user-defined object retrieval using OCI. A casual glance over the code shows that there are no OCI calls like OCIDefineObject, OCIObjectNew etc. which may be needed to define place holders for return values on a statement fetch.

I'd appreciate any further comments.

Thanks and regards,
Siddharth.
