Could not find any specific examples of this usage . . .

3) why open with no fetch? what does that accomplish?
thanks much

Oracle9i supports this directly - look for pipelined PL/SQL functions.

Use Ref Cursor (reference cursor) as a parameter in stored procedure.
Sorry, don't have handy sample code, but you can lookup one in any PL/SQL

That said, sending horrors to the server is not solving the problem, just fudging it,
and bringing the server to its knees will not make the global througput better. I'd
try to make the SQL less nasty f
Bill,
A PL/SQL Table of %RowType can be returned from a function or as an
Out Argument from a procedure.
A Ref Cursor (Cursor Variable) can also be returned as an Out Argument from
a procedure.
See the PL/SQL Users Guide and Reference for info. on these.
