by numbers. DBMS_SQL also contains a procedure called "describe" which,
I believe, does exactly what you want without XML or OCI.

Hi,
I am calling a Oracle stored procedure which has a ref cursor as a
out param. I get the values. Is there a way for me to know the field
names and type of the fields being passed in the ref cursor. Basically
when the procedure sends back the ref cursor what information do I get
apart from the data. Do I get any metadata (field names types etc).
This is basically to write a calling program which I do not have to
change when the ref curor /record changes in the stored procedure.
Thanks in advance.
