Error in Oracle stored procedure

Question

When trying to create this stored procedure, I\'m getting an error:

PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement

Answer 1

It looks like you're expecting an Oracle stored procedure to work the same way as a SQL Server SP - they are different - in Oracle you need to select INTO variables or a cursor then do something with the values. If you're just trying to select the values as in SQL server, it doesn't work like that.
