Fetch x-number of rows into an array

Question

I have some code that selects out x-different number of rows (the number is related to different input data). Is there a good way to select into an array?
Right now I'm doing it in a horrible way:
-- finds out how many entries there are in the array
v_i := v_array.last;
open c_dyn_cursor for v_sql_stmt;
loop
-- There SHOULD be a better way to do this, but I've not found
-- out how, this sucks!!
if (v_i = 1) then
fetch c_dyn_cursor into v_array(1);
elsif (v_i = 2) then
fetch c_dyn_cursor into v_array(1),v_array(2);
elsif (v_i = 3) then
fetch c_dyn_cursor into v_array(1),v_array(2),v_array(3);
elsif (v_i = 4) then
fetch c_dyn_cursor into v_array(1),v_array(2),v_array(3),v_array(4);
end loop;
I hope it's possible to do this a better way. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The problem though is that since I generate a dynamic sql I have no idea how to declare a variable to select into.
If it wasn't a dynamic sql I could have done something like this I assume:
Declare
CURSOR c_emp IS
select ename,sal,job from emp;
r_emp c_emp%rowtype;
Begin
OPEN c_emp;
Loop
FETCH c_emp into r_emp;
Exit when c_emp%NOTFOUND;
Dbms_output.put_line(r_emp.ename || ', ' || r_emp.sal || ', ' || r_emp.job);
End loop;
CLOSE c_emp;
End;
But I Generate the SQL statement along the way.
