What is a REF CURSOR? Compare strong and week ref cursor types.
Answer Posted / b.v.srinivas
Ref cursor is a cursor variable which acts as a pointer to
the sql memory area.
Ref cursor can be asssociated with multiple sql statements
where as a cursor can be associated with only one sql
statement.
Refcursor is dynamic where as cursor is static.
Ref cursors are of two types:
1)strong ref cursor:which retuns value.
2)week ref cursor:which doesn't return value.
thanks and regards
