title: Using ref cursor vs sys_refcursor inside a Stored Procedure Parameters
body: <pre><code>CREATE  OR  REPLACE  PROCEDURE GetEmployeesInDept( c OUT  SYS_REFCURSOR)
  </code></pre>
  <p>I am having a query related to the above Stored Procedures,
  That is while defining the cursor we mentioned it as <code>sys_refcursor</code>, and in some, web site I have seen it as REF CURSOR as shown</p>
  <pre><code>create or replace procedure GetEmployeesInDept( c out ref cursor)
  </code></pre>
  <p>Please tell me what is the difference between the ref cursor and <code>sys_refcursor</code>.</p>
