Hi: I thought in the orginal code (cursor cur1 is select C1 from tab1 where ID = gid;), gid is a parameter passed in so it is already a bind variable. I don't see any difference to what you proposed. Your method is just make cur1 take a paramter? Am I wrong here?
Also what happens when your function is called from different sessions? Is "cursor_shared = force" need to be set in init.ora?
