I'm currently in the middle of rewriting some tools. I "want" to use Oracle Stored Procedures as much as possible. I nailed down calling them, and bringing back 1 row of data, but am stuck on how to return multiple rows of data back. So far I have tried two methods

(1) Binding a cursor for which I get the following error

Can't bind :module_cursor, ora_type 0 not supported by DBD::Oracle at c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\cgi-bin\techArchUtilityModules/OracleUtility.pm line 112.

whose code line looks like:

$csr = $dbh->prepare("BEGIN get_junk(:module_cursor);END;");

$csr->bind_param_inout(":module_cursor", \$sth2, 0, { ora_type => ORA_RSET } );

(2) I've tried using the selectall_arrayref which if I'm reading the DBD documenation right should work, but I can't figure out the syntax on it... ie it nukes it self in place...

So I kind of stuck on where to go... I've used DBMS_OUTPUT in reports in the past... not sure if there is an option in perl...

Curious to hear if anyone has had any luck running stored procs. I guess worst case scenario I have to punt and put all my sql in a common module...

CHEERS
