PL/SQL print out ref cursor returned by a stored procedure

Question

How can I fetch from a ref cursor that is returned from a stored procedure (OUT variable) and print the resulting rows to STDOUT in SQL*PLUS?

ORACLE stored procedure

Answer 1

If you want to print all the columns in your select clause you can go with the autoprint command.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sps_detail_dtest(v_refcur OUT sys_refcursor)
AS
BEGIN
  OPEN v_refcur FOR 'select * from dummy_table';
END;

SET autoprint on;

--calling the procedure
VAR vcur refcursor;
DECLARE 
BEGIN
  sps_detail_dtest(vrefcur=>:vcur);
END;

Hope this gives you an alternate solution
