how to call one stored proc from anther and modify refcursor that is returned?

问题

I have two stored procs, p_proc1 and p_proc2. p_proc1 returns a refcursor and I want to use the data in p_proc2. Is it possible call p_proc1 in p_proc2 and modify the dataset (outer join another table)? The database is Oracle.

回答1:

Not directly, no.

A SYS_REFCURSOR is a pointer to a result-- the only thing you can do with that is to fetch the data. You can't modify the result set.

P_PROC2 could fetch the data from the SYS_REFCURSOR, issue queries to get additional data from some other table, and return something to the caller. At that point, I would tend to favor turning P_PROC2 into a pipelined table function. But you could just return a collection with the modified data in it.

If p_proc2 absolutely needs to return a REF CURSOR, you could fetch the data from p_proc1's REF CURSOR into a global temporary table and then open a new cursor in p_proc2 that queries this global temporary table and does whatever additional manipulation you wish. Something like

SQL> create global temporary table tmp_emp
  2  as
  3  select empno, ename, deptno from emp where 1=2;

Table created.


SQL> create or replace procedure p1( p_cur1 out sys_refcursor )
  2  as
  3  begin
  4    open p_cur1 for select * from emp;
  5  end;
  6  /

Procedure created.

  1  create or replace procedure p2( p_cur2 out sys_refcursor )
  2  as
  3    l_cur1 sys_refcursor;
  4    l_rec  emp%rowtype;
  5  begin
  6    p1( l_cur1 );
  7    loop
  8      fetch l_cur1 into l_rec;
  9      exit when l_cur1%notfound;
 10      insert into tmp_emp( empno, ename, deptno ) values( l_rec.empno, l_rec
ename, l_rec.deptno );
 11    end loop;
 12    open p_cur2 for
 13      select empno, ename, dname
 14        from tmp_emp,
 15             dept
 16       where dept.deptno = tmp_emp.deptno;
 17* end;
SQL> /

Procedure created.

SQL> variable rc refcursor;
SQL> exec p2( :rc );
