Make use of ref cursor.

Declare the set of records as 'type refcur is   ref cursor'

Then write the procedure body.

then use execute immediate or open refcur for 'strsql'

where strsql is the select query.

u  can have this cursor records in the front end as dataset.

Hai,

    There is one option in PL/SQL to return more than one rows.You can do it using Pipeline option.Here is one example which i tried to return dates between from date and todate as dataset 

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION DATEBETWEEN(FROMDATE DATE,TODATE DATE)RETURN TBDATES PIPELINED IS

TMPDATE1 DATES := DATES(NULL);

TMPDATE DATE;

BEGIN

TMPDATE := FROMDATE;

LOOP

EXIT WHEN TMPDATE > TODATE;

TMPDATE1.DATE1 := TMPDATE;

PIPE ROW(TMPDATE1);

TMPDATE := TMPDATE+1;

END LOOP;

RETURN;

END;

Where

TBDATES  is a object of type DATES

And you should query this function as follows

SELECT * FROM TABLE(DATEBETWEEN(TO_DATE('01-APR-2006'),TO_DATE('20-APR-2006')));

create or replace function f1 return sys_refcursor as
r1 sys_refcursor;
begin open r1 for select * from emp;
return(r1);
end;


call the funtion as :

select f1 from dual;

then it returns :

If we want to return multiple row from a function then we can use ref cursor
function .Example is given below:

create or replace function f1 return sys_refcursor as
r1 sys_refcursor;
begin open r1 for select * from emp;
return(r1);
end;
call the
function as :select f1 from
dual; then it returns :
