I have a package with pipelined function in it. using the below stmt to execute the function in Oracle 11g.

select * FROM table(Test_PKG.Test_PIPELINED ('A','--N/A--','1/1/2010','1/1/2011'));

Throwing an error: invalid month error. Can any one please let me know where I am doing wrong.

I have a package with a pipelined function with 3 parameters. Based on Val parameter I need to get the table name.

for example if user select A then the table name that I should use is p_A, if user selects R the table name should be p_R.



I am thinking of creating a variable and set the variable value to tablename and use that variable in FROM clause as below.



DECLARE Table_Nm VARCHAR(10);

SET Table_Nm := 'p_' + Val;



But I am not sure where to declare and set the value to variable. Below is the package that I have created. Can any one please let me know how to implement this in the below package.

That is because '1/1/2010' is a string, not a date. You have to change your input parameter type and convert the string to a date.

Unformatted this is unreadable.
Anyway, if table name is variable then you have to use dynamic SQL.

In order to Generate dynamic SQL, I am thinking of using a variable. But I am not sure where to create and set the variable in that function.
Can you please let me know where to define variable in that function.

variable is declared before the BEGIN statement.

But this is pipelined function. There is no begin statement in this.

A pipelined function still must have a BEGIN statement.
The 2 differences with a non-pipelined function is:
1/ There is no need of a RETURN statement (since version 10.1)
2/ There are PIPE ROW statements (not allowed in other functions)

When you look at my package function script, function has begin statement after the select statement.
I need to declare variable before select statement and use that variable in the from clause as table name

since we don't have your tables or data, we can not run, test, or debug posted code.

Please see response from joy_division for most likely cause of reported error.

1. Are you using SQL*Plus or any third party tool?
2. Please execute this in SQL*Plus and paste the output -
select sysdate from dual;

This is to check the NLS_DATE_FORMAT which is being used.

I need to declare variable before select statement and

Only you stated that there is no BEGIN keyword. So, as you finally found it, just declare that variable before that cursor (it is also before BEGIN keyword, is not it?).

Fortuinately, you cannot to do it in the static cursor declaration. As already suggested by Michel, you have to use dynamic SQL.
It is described in PL/SQL Language Reference, which is available with other Oracle documentation books e.g. online on http://tahiti.oracle.com/
Here is chapter for 11gR2: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25519/dynamic.htm#CACDDACH
Concentrate on the section "OPEN FOR, FETCH, and CLOSE Statements".
And do not forget the following one (Repeated Placeholder Names in Dynamic SQL Statements) to properly bind the input parameters.

please post reproducible test case that shows above is true.
