Sql function or sql procedure

Question

I want to know if is better to use function or procedure for my problem.
First i need to read sql -> SELECT name, surname, date FROM ZKET_ZAPOSLENCI to get all data
When i get all data i need to use name and surname and change it with $name and $surname in some text.
Some text is:
Hello,
Worker $name $surname will be ...
Output must be:
Hello,
Worker Marco Kostrevc will be ..
and it must be inserted in database.
How can i make this?
regards

Answer 1

that you will not say that i am not doing anything
Code i try to make
create or replace procedure showcol (
statement in varchar2,
text_in in varchar2)
is
type cv_type is ref cursor;
cv cv_type;
val varchar2(32767);
procedure display_header_info ... end;
begin
/*construct the very dynamic query and open the cursor*/
open cv for || stavek;
loop
/*fetch the next row, and stop if no more rows*/
fetch cv into val;
exit when cv%notfound;
/*display the data, with a header before the first row*/
if cv$rowcount = 1
then
display_header_info(text_in, statement);
end if;
dbms_output.put_line (val);
end loop;
close cv; --al done clean up
end;
{code}
here i want to make replacement and return value (row by row) but do not how?
