Hi Sandhya,

Could you be more clear. According to my understanding a cursor variable is nothing but a cursor opened in one PLSQL routine and fetched by another routine. So are you suggesting a cursor result set cannot be stored in a PL/SQL table? I would appreciate it if you were to give an example to state your point more clearly.

Cheers!
