AFAIK, working ref cursor support has been hacked into the Oracle driver at least twice by different people, but isn't currently supported in nsoracle 2.7 (the latest stable version). I think it's one the things Jeremy Collins is planning to add, though: http://www.tclsource.org/oracle/ (I think the PostgreSQL driver neither ref curors nor has them, because PostgreSQL has something better. All the other databases and their drivers, I've no idea.) If you haven't already, you should look at the OpenACS db API for your Oracle work, as it is nice, and noticeably higher level than the AOLserver ns_db API (which it is built upon). Unfortunately it is not set up for easy re-use outside of an OpenACS environment, but it is not too hard to hack it into working without OpenACS if that's what you really want. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
