i'm using Perl 5.8.3 with DBD:Oracle 1.15 and DBI 1.42, and i'm not able to get the following working:
Select a, cursor(select d, e from t2 where k = t1.b) cur from t1
when i call $sth->fetch, $sth->fetchrow_hashref or similiar i get the following error:
Field 2 has an Oracle type (116) which is not explicitly supported at .../Oracle.pm line 312
using $sth->bind_col(2, $cursor, {ora_type => ORA_RSET}); after calling $sth->execute isn't working either, same error.
I got DBI working with PL/SQL-functions that return a cursor, using bind_param_inout, but obviously i can't use that here. Is DBI not able to handle cursors in selects or am i doing something wrong?
