Susan, did you create it as a function (like #1 and #2) or a procedure (like #3)? Can you post your creation and execution along with the error? Perhaps if I can see what you did it won’t be so useless.

The function compiles but I get this error when i try to execute it:
identifier ‘testfunc’ must be declared.

This code is so far useless.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SCOTT.insert_test(i_acctperiod IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
o_cursor out sys_refcursor )
IS

DECLARE

BEGIN
delete from test;
commit;

SELECT TO_CHAR(add_months(E.HIREDATE,12),’MM/DD/YYYY’) into v_shorttermcutoffdatestr FROM EMP1 E WHERE
TO_CHAR(E.HIREDATE,’Mon YYYY’) = i_acctperiod;

l_query :=’ INSERT INTO TEST

Hi Steve, I read the orginal thread before finding your blog post and while you give a great answer to the problem, you don’t really answer the question as it relates to Oracle SQL developer. Yes, it’s straight-forward in SQL*Plus and even more simple in Toad but comparatively speaking Oracle SQL developer forces you through hoops…. well, that’s my opinion right now because I am new to SQL Developer and getting used to it. My searches online seem to suggest that the answer to “How do I test a stored procedure that returns a ref cursor using Oracle SQL Developer?” is – Don’t. I would be very happy to be proved wrong.

Hi Steven,

the above workaround given by you is really help full.

I want to do some error handling like say NO-DATA-FOUND in the procedure.
Could you please advise how should I proceed for?

Hello Steve,
if I need just a select statement, do you think I still should prefer using out sys_refcursor in a Stored Porcedure for performance, or Should I prefer a View instead of a Procedure.
which one could be faster.
My Select statement does not have a variable parameter, I mean if I write a procedure there will be no input parameters. There are just some constants for some criteria.

Hey steve, thanks for the link you provided in DBA forums to this place. looks interesting! well i want to run a query several times with different inputs and store all outputs into a cursor/ record set and return to front end.

I don’t clearly know how to implement this from the front end, planning to test with a sample today .
Please can you comment if you have any ideas in this ?
