Explain reference cursor?..

Answer / Bhasker Sah

A Reference Cursor is a type of cursor in Oracle PL/SQL programming language. Unlike a regular cursor, which stores the result set within the program's memory, a Reference Cursor returns a result set as a separate object that can be used elsewhere in the program or passed as an argument to another procedure or function. It provides better performance and flexibility for handling complex data sets.
