How to return more than one value from a function?
Answer Posted / murali
We can return more than one row using out parameter. Try
this with the following.
create or replace function my_func(myno number, myname out
varchar2) return number as
mysal emp.sal%type;
begin
select ename, sal into myname, mysal from emp where
empno=myno;
return sal;
end;
in the above example we are returning first value mysal
using return statement and second value myname using out
parameter.
