Powerhouse and Result Sets/Cursors

[Adrian.Hudson at eu.averydennison.com]

Hi,

This is my first post, so I hope I manage to follow all the necessary 
etiquette!

Has anyone managed to use a cursor with a result set in Powerhouse and 
Oracle (This was introduced in 8.4D)?

I'm struggling with how the Cursor/Result Set is passed back (and indeed 
defined) in the Powerhouse code.

We are running Oracle 10g with Powerhouse 8.43D1 on AIX

The text below illustrates the problem.

Regards,


Adrian

Create package and procedure 
----------------------------------------------

create package powpkg
as
type CursorType is REF CURSOR;
end powpkg;

create or replace procedure return_wishlist (ocursor in out 
powpkg.CursorType) 
as
begin
open ocursor for select description from hudsona.boys_wishlist;
end;
/

To demo it works in SQLPLUS
--------------------------------------------

SQL hudsona at DVXD> variable c refcursor
SQL hudsona at DVXD> exec return_wishlist (:c)

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL hudsona at DVXD> print c

DESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------
Football Game
Keyboard
Shrek DVD

Powerhouse code
-------------------------- 

sql in css2base &
declare c_cursor cursor for &
call hudsona.return_wishlist &
result set description varchar(50)

acc c_cursor
go
