[nabhilash]

Dear Friends
In fact this code discusssion really created curiosity.
pisal rahul advises that u can fetch cursor to java program.
as follows. I would like to know then how to write a procedure
for that. I want fetch 3 feilds from a citymaster table and return to java Program . Can anyone help out. Rahul r u there somewhere near by
Rahul Argues as follows :
do the following
CallableStatement stmt = con.prepareCall
("{? = call procedurename(?)}");
stmt.registerOutParameter(1,OracleTypes.CURSOR);
stmt.setString(2,"Rahul");
stmt.executeUpdate();
ResultSet rs = (ResultSet)stmt.getObject(1);

Please see following example which I borrow now from one
of my previous assignments:
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class retrefcur_samp
{
public static void main (String args [])
// throws SQLException
{
try
{
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
connection URL.
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbcracle:thin:@pavilion03:1529ra8i", "you", "me");
init (conn);
CallableStatement call =
conn.prepareCall ("{ ? = call java_refcursor.job_listing (?)}");

call.registerOutParameter (1, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
call.setString (2, "*");
call.execute ();
OracleResultSet rset = (OracleResultSet)call.getObject (1);

while (rset.next ()){
System.out.println (rset.getString ("JOB"));
}
rset.close();
call.close();
} catch(SQLException esql) {
System.out.println("Trouble in river city ");
System.out.println(esql.toString());
}
}
static void init (Connection conn)
throws SQLException
{
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
stmt.execute ("create or replace package java_refcursor as " +
" type myrctype is ref cursor return EMP%ROWTYPE; " +
" function job_listing (j varchar2) return myrctype; " +
"end java_refcursor;");
stmt.execute ("create or replace package body java_refcursor as " +
" function job_listing (j varchar2) return myrctype is " +
" rc myrctype; " +
" begin " +
" open rc for select * from emp; " +
" return rc; " +
" end; " +
"end java_refcursor;");
stmt.execute ("create or replace package java_ref_clean as " +
" type myrctype is ref cursor; " +
" function cleanup (cc myrctype) return number; " +
"end java_ref_clean;");
stmt.execute ("create or replace package body java_ref_clean as " +
" function cleanup (cc myrctype) return number is "+
" result number; " +
" begin " +
" close cc; " +
" end; " +
"end java_ref_clean;");
}
}

I saw Topic: Rahul's Argument !! Function/Procedure retrun Cursor itself to a Java Program?!!
I have similar problem. I am selecting 7 fields from 3 tables and creating a cursor in a function. It returns all rows in one step.
I want only 10 rows at a time (As in this topic getting all row at a time).
For this I have to fetch in loop for 10 times, but gives compilation error in oracle when I write fetch into ref_cursor.
Should I take all values in arrays or is there a way to modify andre van winssen's suggested way.
