Hey everyone, please disregard this off-topic question. I think I may need some PHP knowledge too, but here goes. In all of the documentation I've found, a DBA can write stored procedures, functions and views. I know how to write a stored procedure to do INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE functions. I really want to be able to store queries in Oracle just as you would an INSERT. For example, I want to have a SP do this: SELECT FLGT_NUMBER, DPTR_ARPT, ARVL_ARPT FROM FLIGHT WHERE FLGT_NUM = $flgt_num ORDER BY FLGT_NUM; I need the entire recordset returned so that I can call the SP from PHP. This almost sounds like making a view, but I don't know how to send parameters to the view. I really don't know a lot about Oracle and quite frankly the Oracle documentation I've found sucks. Can anyone help me? Would anyone be so kind as to tell me what their favorite Oracle resource is? I've tried www.oracle.com and www.orafaq.com but neither has helped me find what I'm looking for. It's too bad Google took over Deja; I can't post there. My university's news server is far from being called "maintained" and I have no other decent news server at my disposal.
