Hi,

How can I retrieve result set from a procedure when use DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE for select from a table:
DBMS_SQL.PARSE(cursor_var, "SELECT * FROM persons WHERE person_id=:person_id", DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
DBMS_SQL.BIND_VARIABLE(cursor_var,  'person_id', in_person_id);
rows_complete := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(cursor_var);
DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(cursor_var);

I want the above code returns a cursor like following code, I mean I need a ref cursor as output of procedure:
sql_stsmt="SELECT * FROM persons WHERE person_id=:person_id"
OPEN ref_curs1 FOR sql_stsmt Using in_person_id

Thanks for your favor in advance.

Great, Thank you so much, The procedure is modified like this:

Procedure Get_Persosns
(
in_person_id IN NUMBER,
out_persons_info OUT ref_cursor
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
cursor_var NUMBER := DBMS_SQL.OPEN_CURSOR;
rows_complete NUMBER := 0;

DBMS_SQL.PARSE(cursor_var, "SELECT * FROM persons WHERE person_id=:person_id", DBMS_SQL.NATIVE);
DBMS_SQL.BIND_VARIABLE(cursor_var,  'person_id', in_person_id);
rows_complete := DBMS_SQL.EXECUTE(cursor_var);
out_persons_info  := DBMS_SQL.TO_REFCURSOR(cursor_var);
END;


But I had to remove this line :

DBMS_SQL.CLOSE_CURSOR(cursor_var);

Becuase the following error is raised:
Error Message=ORA-29471: DBMS_SQL access denied

Does it not make any problem?
Should I not close the out_persons_info cursor ?
When I use "Close out_persons_info", no records fetched.

Of course otherwise the cursor is closed which means destroyed and so no more exists.
It is the same thing with the standard usage of "OPEN ... FOR ..." once you close it you can no more access its rows (or any property but, of course, %ISOPEN).

You close it when you finished to use it that is, most likely, once you have fetched all rows.

And now the question raises: why don't you use the standard OPEN ... FOR ... instead of DBMS_SQL?
It'd be the correct way in this case.

Thank you so much. Great help for me.

Because I wrote a dynamic query using DBMS_SQL.Because filter parameters are not fixed in Where clause of query . in OPEN ... FOR we have to specify the list of bind arguments after USING which are unknown for us.
