Count Cursor

Question

Hello,
I want to find the total amount of rows present in my cursor result,
is there any way how I can find this?
I need it because I have to do an extra operation in the last result of my cursor.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Use BULK COLLEC to fetch your records in collection then use
collection_name.COUNT
for Example::
~
"afiedt.buf" 13 lines, 247 characters
  1  DECLARE
  2  TYPE emp_rec  IS  TABLE OF EMP%ROWTYPE;
  3  v_arr emp_rec;
  4  CURSOR emp_cur is SELECT * FROM EMP;
  5  BEGIN
  6  open emp_Cur;
  7  LOOP
  8     FETCH emp_cur BULK COLLECT INTO v_arr;
  9     dbms_output.put_line(v_arr.COUNT);
10     EXIT WHEN emp_cur%NOTFOUND;
11  END LOOP;
12* END;
