RE: Handle Multiple Rows Without Loops
 
If we want to return multiple row from a function then we can use ref cursor
function .Example is given below:

create or replace function f1 return sys_refcursor as
r1 sys_refcursor;
begin open r1 for select * from emp;
return(r1);
end;

call the
function as :
select f1 from
dual;
then it returns :
