I was doing like this and didn't succeed: cursor=conn.parse("Select name From empl where ssn=123456789") cursor.define(1, String, 20) cursor.exec() puts cursor conn.logoff Puts statement only print the memory address, doesn't print the string. Thanks, Maung -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
