How to return a record set from a PL/SQL procedure/function?

Hi,

does anyone know if, and how, I can return a record (set) from a stored
procedure/function?

What does the function have to do?
well at this moment I'm porting our product's database based global registry
from SQL Server to Oracle10g (as it has to work on both). Now I have a
function called CreateKey, which like the name says creates a single key
entry in the global registry. Afterwards it has to return with the created
key (a single row) and it's newly generated globally unique identifier, but
if the key already existed it should return with the existing key
information.

Could someone please help me?

ps. I'm using Oracle10g.

Thanx,
Alexander

Look up ref cursor in the docs as an out parameter.

Probably I should have mentioned that I want to use it in combination with
..NET and C# in particularly.
