how to use found_rows in oracle package to avoid two queries
- by Omnipresent
I made a package which I can use like this:
select * from table(my_package.my_function(99, 'something, something2', 1, 50))
I make use of the package in a stored procedure. Sample stored procedure looks like:
insert into something values(...)
from
(select * from table(my_package.my_function(99, 'something, something2', 1, 50))) a
other_table b
where b.something1 = a.something1;
open cv_1 for
select count(*) from
table(my_package.my_function(99, 'something, something2', 1, 50))
So I am calling the same package twice. first time to match records with other tables and other stuff and second time to get the count.
Is there a way to get the count first time around and put it into a variable and second time around I just pick that variable rather than calling the whole query again?
Hope it makes sense.
