Oracle SQL Developer: Show REFCURSOR Results in Grid?

Question

As a follow-up to the question \"Get resultset from oracle stored procedure\", is there a way to show the results of a stored procedure that returns a REFCURSOR

Answer 1

I don't think you can with a procedure.

Edit: Thanks to DCookie for simplifying my original answer.

But as a work-around you can write a function that calls the procedure and then invoke that using SQL.

e.g.

create or replace function callmyproc
return sys_refcursor
IS
   rc   sys_refcursor;
BEGIN

   myproc(rc);

   return rc;

END;

Which you can then call with:

   select callmyproc()
   from dual;

When this example is run, the SQL Developer data grid shows one result but if you scroll right and click on the edit button, you will see the results in a grid.
