Strongly Typed
Note: A REF CURSOR that specifies a specific return type.

Package Header		 CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE strongly_typed IS

TYPE return_cur IS REF CURSOR RETURN all_tables%ROWTYPE;
PROCEDURE child(p_return_rec OUT return_cur);
PROCEDURE parent(p_NumRecs PLS_INTEGER);

END strongly_typed;

Package Body		 CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY strongly_typed IS
PROCEDURE child(p_return_rec OUT return_cur) IS

BEGIN
  OPEN p_return_rec FOR
  SELECT * FROM all_tables;
END child;
--==================================================
PROCEDURE parent (p_NumRecs PLS_INTEGER) IS
 p_retcur return_cur;
 at_rec   all_tables%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
  child(p_retcur);

  FOR i IN 1 .. p_NumRecs

    ' - ' || TO_CHAR(at_rec.next_extent));
  END LOOP;

To Run The Demo set serveroutput on

Weakly Typed
Note: A REF CURSOR that does not specify the return type such as SYS_REFCURSOR.

Child Procedure		 CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE child (
 p_NumRecs IN PLS_INTEGER,
 p_return_cur OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
IS

BEGIN
  OPEN p_return_cur FOR
  'SELECT * FROM all_tables WHERE rownum <= ' || p_NumRecs ;
END child;
/

Parent Procedure		 CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE parent (pNumRecs VARCHAR2) IS
 p_retcur  SYS_REFCURSOR;
 at_rec    all_tables%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
  child(pNumRecs, p_retcur);

  FOR i IN 1 .. pNumRecs
  LOOP
    FETCH p_retcur
    INTO at_rec;

    dbms_output.put_line(at_rec.table_name ||
    ' - ' || at_rec.tablespace_name ||
    ' - ' || TO_CHAR(at_rec.initial_extent) ||
    ' - ' || TO_CHAR(at_rec.next_extent));

To Run The Demo set serveroutput on
