I'm not sure if you are talking about referenceing the individual
columns, or a set of rows.
For the first case
DECLARE
parameters tp_method1_params;
BEGIN
....
parameters := (SELECT param1, ...paramn) FROM paramtable;
SELECT method(param1, ...paramn);
END;
Or you could declare the method to accapt the record as its input
parameter.
For the second case, use an array. I just learned how to do that
on this list a couple of days ago.
DECLARE
paramarray tp_method_params[];
BEGIN
....
paramarray := ARRAY(SELECT ....);
END;
I hope this answers the question you were asking. {-;
