Crystal Reports Developer XI and Oracle 10g Stored Procedure results
I'm very new to Oracle so this may be a very simple issue. I've used SQL Server and Crystal extensively so I have that "handicap". I have a package with a stored procedure that does a lot of work and stores the results to a global temporary table. I then need to select that information from the table and return it to Crystal to report.
Here is what I've tried:
I have added a SYS_REFCURSOR as an output parameter to the stored procedure and at the bottom of the stored procedure I have opened the cursor with the select of the global table.
I connect the stored procedure to crystal using a JDBC connection. When I do this, everything looks as I would expect it within Crystal. I see the field names and all expected field information. The problem comes when I try to run the report. I receive the error "Failed to retrieve data from the database". I have granted execute to public even though I'm connecting as the database user.
I have also tried creating a new package that calls the original stored procedure and then calls the select and returns the cursor. Kind of a wrapper stored procedure. However, I receive the same error message with that.
I'm sure there is something I'm missing that is pretty straight forward. All help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I don't use Oracle but from what I have read here, the ref cursor must be the first parameter in the stored procedure.

I've tried it as the first and last parameter. No difference in the resulting error message. Any other ideas I might try?
I have been able to put together a package with a stored procedure with just a straight select on a "regular" table - not a global temporary table and report on that fine. I'm not sure if the difference is between a temporary table verses a standard table or the fact that I'm running the stored procedure prior to accessing the temporary table.
I'm also able to report against the temporary table, but as you would expect I do not have data in it. At least the report runs without errors.
