one code for two tables

[Julia Sats]

Can I do something like it:

if i = 0 then
for cur_var in (select * from t0) loop
else
for cur_var in (select * from t1) loop

/*
a lot of lines here
*/

end loop;



even if I would try to do like it:

v_refcursor refcursor;
v_rec0 t0%rowtype;
v_rec1 t1%rowtype;

BEGIN
if i = 0 then
OPEN v_refcursor FOR SELECT * FROM t0
else
OPEN v_refcursor FOR SELECT * FROM t1
end if;

I need to use different record_variable s for FETCH and repeat my /* a lot of
lines here */ couples time for different record variables.

Any idea how to do code only once ?

Thanks

Redesign your database (recommended) and get rid of this mess
or use dynamic sql (not recommended, as you will end up with an
unscalable application).
Instead of hacking yourself out, like you seem to do consistently,
please try to *learn* and use approved practices, *design* your
programs and stop creating spaghetti.
