They are two different beasts. As far as I know you can send a Ref Cursor along others do this. You might want to try and ask this question on DBI users mailing list dbi-users@perl.org lots of smart cookies hang out there and have most likely have worked out how to do this allready Hmm I think you are confusing an enbedded ‘Table’ type with a PL/SQL table type (ref cursor)

SYS.DBMS_SQL.VARCHAR2_TABLE in the pod for a possiable way to do this.

They are two different beasts.

As far as I know you can send a Ref Cursor along others do this.

Unfortunately, according to the DBD::Oracle documentation, the module "...supports only the 'selection' of embedded objects of the following types OBJECT, VARRAY and TABLE in any combination." I gave it a try anyway, but got back errors like this one: PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'UPSERTFAKEDATA' ORA-06550: line 3, column 5. If you are interested, I could send you both Perl and PL/SQL code. I wonder if there is any way to do what I need without switching to some other programming language?
