Hi,
I have a a problem with the following procedure used as a test for
larger procedure (which if gets any larger will start answering all the
questions of the universe :-)

I am looking primarily to fetch a cursor into a collection of more than
one column. However, there is some problem with declaration part. Oracle
refuses to recognise my_book_rec_tab.title etc.

Can you please help me out?

Thanks in advance
Abhi
create table book
(title varchar2(20),
author_last_name varchar2(20),
published_date date);


------------------------------------------------

create or replace procedure book_procedure is
--Define a PL/SQL record type representing a book:
TYPE book_rec IS record
(title book.title%TYPE,
author book.author_last_name%TYPE,
published_date book.published_date%TYPE);

--define a PL/SQL table containing entries of type book_rec:
Type book_rec_tab IS TABLE OF book_rec ---- TABLE OF book_rec%TYPE --
also not working
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;

my_book_rec_tab book_rec_tab;

cursor book_cur is
select * from book;

begin
open book_cur;
loop
fetch book_cur
bulk collect into my_book_rec_tab.title , my_book_rec_tab.author,
my_book_rec_tab.published_date;
end loop;
close book_cur;
end;
