Answer 1

What you have there is technically not a procedure, but a function -- the difference being that a procedure does not have a return value and cannot be used as the right-hand-side of an assignment statement.

You basically have two options:

(1) Use OUT parameters. In this case I would make it a procedure with two OUT parameters. Generally people don't like functions that also have OUT parameters, as it violates the usual expectations. @Benoit's answer shows this method.

(2) Define a type that contains multiple values and use this as the return type of the function. Example:

CREATE TYPE two_values AS object (
  A NUMBER,
  b number
  );
  /

CREATE FUNCTION get_two_values RETURN two_values AS
BEGIN
  RETURN two_values(2,4);
END;
