Batch multiple select statements when calling Oracle from ADO.NET

Question

I want to batch multiple select statements to reduce round trips to the database. The code looks something like the pseudo code below. It works perfectly on SQL Server, but

Answer 1

An example in C# with multiple cursors and an input parameter:

string ConnectionString = "connectionString";
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(ConnectionString);
StringBuilder sql = new StringBuilder();

sql.Append("begin ");
sql.Append("open :1 for select * from table_1 where id = :id; ");
sql.Append("open :2 for select * from table_2; ");
sql.Append("open :3 for select * from table_3; ");
sql.Append("end;");

OracleCommand comm = new OracleCommand(sql.ToString(),_conn);

comm.Parameters.Add("p_cursor_1", OracleDbType.RefCursor, DBNull.Value, ParameterDirection.Output);

comm.Parameters.Add("p_id", OracleDbType.Int32, Id, ParameterDirection.Input);

comm.Parameters.Add("p_cursor_2", OracleDbType.RefCursor, DBNull.Value, ParameterDirection.Output);

comm.Parameters.Add("p_cursor_3", OracleDbType.RefCursor, DBNull.Value, ParameterDirection.Output);

conn.Open();

OracleDataReader dr = comm.ExecuteReader();
