Hi All,

I have a req. to write a store proc. (in oracle) which will fire a query and store the output
in a clob variable (don't know weather it is possible or not) and that “Clob“would be return as output of the procedure. Actually I need an XML string as output of the procedure can it be possible? Any kind of Help would be highly appreciable.

Regards
Alok
