Oracle提供REF CURSOR，通过该功能可以实现在程序间传递结果集的功能，利用REF CURSOR也可以实现BULK SQL，从而提高SQL性能。
使用scott用户的emp表实现以下测试案例：
SQL> desc emp
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
EMPNO NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
ENAME VARCHAR2(10)
JOB VARCHAR2(9)
MGR NUMBER(4)
HIREDATE DATE
SAL NUMBER(7,2)
COMM NUMBER(7,2)
DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
使用ref cursor获得结果集输出：
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> DECLARE
2 TYPE mytable IS TABLE OF emp%ROWTYPE;
3 l_data mytable;
4 l_refc sys_refcursor;
5 BEGIN
6 OPEN l_refc FOR
7 SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, deptno FROM emp;
8
9 FETCH l_refc BULK COLLECT INTO l_data;
10
11 CLOSE l_refc;
12
13 FOR i IN 1 .. l_data.COUNT
14 LOOP
15 DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ( l_data (i).ename
16 || ' was hired since '
17 || l_data (i).hiredate
18 );
19 END LOOP;
20 END;
