I am working with Oracle as back end for VB.I have written stored procedure in which I am getting rowtype. I have rowtype(from Oracle) ie record set in VB . Iam trying to get that as out parameter in VB. I am not able to access to that out parametere in VB. How do I acces that. is there any
datatype in VB same as that of rowtype.
Hi
The only data access method that I know of that lets you return a Cursor from
a stored procedure in Oracle is Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O). I think this comes
free with the Oracle Client software (or the Server - can't remember off hand).
Microsoft did write up a work around to still let you use ADO/RDO/DAO to get cursors
from resultsets (well, not really cursors). Basically, you have your StoredProcedure
return an Array which is built up from the Rows/Columns in the cursor.
Search the MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com for 'Oracle' 'Stored Procedures'
and you should find the article.
I know it's a real pain - we (the Developers) here wanted to use SQL server (nice and
easy integration with VB), but we had to go along the OO4O route to get the application
working properly.
