You say complex sql statement but above shared SQL looks straight forward.

About above query execution, you are creating a SP that holds a SELECT query. If you want to run that select query and get data, either execute SP or run the SQL directly.

i.e.:

SQL

SELECT sname from student

OR

SQL

exec test1;

Thanks for your replies. I did not post the actual SQL query because my problem is not the complexity of the query, it is about how to display output. I also know how to exec a sql proc.

It turned out that I needed to select INTO some variable and the use DBMS_OUTPUT.PUTLINE, the most important part was "set serveroutput on"

Thanks any way
