I'm trying to understand exactly what you are trying to do. Oracle thinks that you are trying to get the next value for a sequence named SYSTEM_CHANGE_ID, but there is no sequence by that name. If that is what you are trying to do, then either the sequence doesn't exist and you need to create

Re: ** field names of a ref cursor

Joshi, you'll have to use DBMS_SQL and return number instead of ref cursor. DBMS_SQL has its own, internal table describing open cursors by numbers. DBMS_SQL also contains a procedure called "describe" which, I believe, does exactly what you want without XML or OCI. On 01/26/2004 01:19:27 AM, A

Read the Oracle Documentation or http://otn.oracle.com or http://metalink.oracle.com on what a RowID is. It is actually a composite of File_Number_in_Database + Block_Number_in_File + Row_Number_within_Block. Since a Table is like a "heap" rows may be inserted by Oracle in any of the available bl

AFAIK there are no PL/SQL functions to do what you want to do; they are available as OCI functions, though, but PL/SQL only implements a very small subset of what is available with OCI. An external C procedure might be an option, but only if not called too often. In my experience trying to write

You need to understand that Oracle inserts data where space is available in a table, and dependent on previous DML in a table, that could be almost anywhere. If you want to see the data in timestamp order, then order it by that column. And please don't use ALL CAPS. It is difficult to read. Jar
