Lots of examples avlbl from Concepts manual; also pl check asktom.com
Step 1) Declare a ref cursor inside a package
CREATE PACKAGE APACK AS
TYPE RefCurTyp IS REF CURSOR;
END APACK;
Step 2) Employ the ref curosr IN OUT variable inside the procedure..note
that the cursor is opened but not fetched..
PROCEDURE demo_ref (
refcurvar IN OUT RefCurTyp,
choice NUMBER) IS
BEGIN
IF choice = 1 THEN
OPEN refcurvar FOR SELECT * FROM emp;
ELSIF choice = 2 THEN
OPEN refcurvar FOR SELECT * FROM dept;
ELSIF choice = 3 THEN
OPEN refcurvar FOR SELECT * FROM sal;
END IF;
END demo_ref;
