Inserting a RefCursor into a table - oracle

Question

I have a simple function where I run a stored procedure that returns a RefCursor and I try to use that RefCursor to insert data to a temporary table. I get the following error when trying to do so:
SQL Error: ORA-00947: not enough values
I know for a fact that the refcursor returns exactly the same number of values as the temporary table has, correct column names, their order and their type. I ran print RefCursor and I can see all of the data. Here's the code:
var r refcursor;
EXEC SCHEMA.PACKAGE.SPROC(:r);
insert into SCHEMA.TEMP_TABLE
values
(r);
I have to add that the stored procedure has a refcursor defined as a OUT parameter so it returns a correct type. Using print r; prints the correct data.
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT:
Based on a suggestion I tried to use a fetch to a rowtype variable, but getting Invalid Number exception whenever I attempt to fetch a row:
DECLARE
cur SYS_refcursor;
rec SCHEMA.TEMP_TABLE%rowtype;
begin
SCHEMA.PACKAGE.SPROC( cur );
LOOP
FETCH cur INTO rec;
EXIT WHEN cur%NOTFOUND;
INSERT INTO SCHEMA.TEMP_TABLE
VALUES rec;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN INVALID_NUMBER THEN
DBMS_output.put_line(rec.move_id);
end;
I added the exception block to see which row is failing and needless to say it is the first one. The stored procedure I run returns a refcursor of a select query from multiple tables. The temporary table defined as the exact copy of the refcursor columns and their types. Not sure what could be causing the exception.

Answer 1

You can't insert into a table from a refcursor. You could write a procedure that fetches from the cursor and inserts into the table. If schema.package.sproc returns a ref cursor of temp_table%rowtype, you could do something like
DECLARE
cur sys_refcursor;
rec schema.temp_table%rowtype;
BEGIN
schema.package.sproc( cur );
LOOP
FETCH cur INTO rec;
EXIT WHEN cur%NOTFOUND;
INSERT INTO schema.temp_table
VALUES rec;
END LOOP;
END;

Answer 2

You can use LOOP + FETCH to filter the row in SYS_REFCURSOR.
Exit the LOOP using "EXIT WHEN ref_%notfound;"
Example: Have 2 functions.
FUNCTION get_data
RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR
is
s varchar2(2000);
ref_ SYS_REFCURSOR;
begin
s := 'select username, password, email from user_info where id < 100';
OPEN ref_ FOR s;
return ref_;
end;
FUNCTION load_data_in_table
RETURN varchar2
is
s varchar2(2000);
puser_name varchar2(2000);
ppassword varchar2(2000);
pemail varchar2(2000);
ref_ SYS_REFCURSOR;
begin
ref_ := get_data();
LOOP
--process_record_statements;
FETCH ref_ into puser_name, ppassword, pemail;
s := 'INSERT INTO TEST_USER_EXP VALUES(:user_name, :password, :email)';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE s USING puser_name, ppassword, pemail;
EXIT WHEN ref_%notfound;
END LOOP;
commit;
return 'OK';
end;
