Oracle stored procedure to return multiple rows

I want a stored procedure in Oracle, which will return multiple rows. What should be the code? I also want to call this stored procedure from VB.NET and display this record in this platform. In the DBMS_SQL package, what does NATIVE stand for?

  1. I want a stored procedure in Oracle, which will return multiple rows. What should be the code?
  2. I also want to call this stored procedure from VB.NET and display this record in this platform.
  3. In the DBMS_SQL package, what does NATIVE stand for?
  1. There are many types of procedures that you can use. Here is an example of a REF CURSOR: 
    create or replace procedure employee_sel(
   cv_results in out sys_refcursor)
   is
   begin
     open cv_results for
       select first_name, last_name
        from employee;
end;
    where sys_refcursor is a type of REF CURSOR type

  2. Try calling this procedure in a select statement in VB.NET. Since VB.NET is not my strong suit, this is all of the help I can give you on VB.NET.

  3. Dbms_sql.native is a mandatory parameter for DBMS_SQL.PARSE.

    Oracle8i introduced native dynamic SQL, an alternative to DBMS_SQL. Using native dynamic SQL, you can place dynamic...

    SQL statements directly into PL/SQL blocks. In most situations, native dynamic SQL can replace DBMS_SQL. Native dynamic SQL is easier to use. For more info on dynamic SQL statements see Note:198306.1 at metalink.oracle.com.
