I was wondering if I could get some clarification concerning Oracle stored 
procs and CF 4.5 and 5.

First of all, the way the 4.5 documentation reads, it seems as if you need 
to be using native drivers to use stored procs. After playing around with 
the ODBC drivers (CF 4.5/Unix) and seeing some posts in the forums, I 
noticed that running a stored proc works fine with ODBC if it does not 
return a record set . However, if I try and return a record set (a simple 
SELECT statment), the code fails (I followed the KB articles to return an 
Oracle record set, as I know record sets are returned differently in Oracle 
as opposed to SQL Server). Can a record set, and ideally multiple 
recordsets, be returned from a stored proc using Oracle ODBC drivers? We are 
using the Merant ODBC drivers for Oracle on CF 4.5/Unix.

Second, when using native drivers, can multiple record sets be returned from 
one stored proc in CF 4.5/Unix?

Last, have there been improvements (i.e., ease of use, enhancements) to 
returning Oracle stored proc record sets in CF 5? If so, can you give me an 
overview of the changes or point me in the direction of where I can find 
some documentation? I'm trying to justify the upgrade from CF 4.5 to 5, and 
this issue would be a major selling point to my boss.

Thanks, and sorry for the 20 questions!!
