if you at-least know the source and destination tables will have same number of columns and data types ... you could just do something like

insert into target.table
select from source.table ....

g_colName is a string of column names that I build earlier in the algorithm. My problem is how do I do the 'INTO' part of this cursor, since I do not know how many or of what type my columns are. The query is on the fly and totally dynamic.

Anyway to do this without using DBMS_SQL package?

OPEN cur_values FOR 'SELECT '||g_colName ||
                            ' FROM ' || p_sourceSchema||'.'||v_tableName ||
                            ' WHERE PARENT_RESOURCE_ID BETWEEM :1 AND :2'

                          USING p_startResourceID, p_endResourceID;
                          LOOP
                            FETCH cur_values
                             INTO v_values;
                          EXIT WHEN cur_values%NOTFOUND;

                  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO
'||p_targetSchema||'.'||v_tableName||
                                    '('||g_colName||')'||
                                    '(VALUES)';
