You have to use permanent type as pipelined function is intended to be used in SQL.

What is "permanent type"? Is this feature new to Oracle 10G.
Sorry, I am really not aware of it.



Thanks Michel.

To the best of my knowledge, Pipelined functions only work with collection types defined in SQL, not with types that are only declared in Pl/Sql.

If you've got an example to the contrary, I'd love to see it.

Thanks for the response. Here is the PL/SQL
The following code will create a Pipelined Table Function named generate_lines.

We are using PL/SQL tables .We are using the "pipelining" to select from Oracle PL/SQL tables in Oracle 9i database. Is this changing with 10G?
I'm not sure I understand. Does the existing code have to change?

Good grief - so you can.
I knew you could use a Pl/Sql collection type as output from a Pipelined function, but I'd thought that you needed a SQL type to CAST it to before you could use it in a SQL statement.
In 10g (lowest Db I've got to hand) that requirement is no longer there:
SQL> create or replace package pkg_type as
  2    type num_tab is table of number;
  3  end;
  4  /

Package created.

SQL> 
SQL> create or replace function num_pipeline (p_num in number) return pkg_type.num_tab pipelined is
  2  begin
  3    for i in 1..p_num loop
  4      pipe row(i);
  5    end loop;
  6  end;
  7  /

Function created.

SQL> 
SQL> select * from table(num_pipeline(5));

COLUMN_VALUE
------------
           1
           2
           3
           4
           5


That's today's learning experience taken care of. Thanks @Olivia

But casting to a PL/SQL type is not allowed (as I showed in my example).
So in 9i, you have to use a SQL type.

Because my database version is Oracle 9.2 not 10G.The reason why.

It works if you add a line "return;" in the function.
Oracle 9.2 always want a "return" in the function even if it is meaningless in pipelined function:
SQL> select * from table(num_pipeline(5));
ERROR:
ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value
ORA-06512: at "####.NUM_PIPELINE", line 3

My initial query was [b]We are using the "pipelining" to select from Oracle PL/SQL tables (in Oracle 9i].Does the code need to be changed or it will run successfully? [b]
I am not expecting the features in 10g should be in 9i.I want to know whether above code(provided by Michel) will run without making any changes in 10G?

Jrowbottom, you have written your code compatible with 10G.And you were asking whether your code runs successfully or not.Can I ask you whether the code provided by Michel (for 9i) works without any error or not? I have no 10G environment to check.Hope you would understand!

Thanks to you in advance!

Could you try that again, with this correction to the function:

My question was all about whether pipelining" to select from Oracle PL/SQL tables(now we are doing in Oracle 9i) is possible without making any changes in 10G or not? Did you get what I mean?
I did not wanted to know the differnece but to know whether the exiting features in oracle 9i are available in 10G or not!

I was not interested whether Oracle 10G features works in Oracle 9i or not.

We are going to upgrade to Oracle10g.So, wanted to know if "pipelining" to select from Oracle PL/SQL tables will be possible without any changes in oracle10G.

Your existing code should work just fine - Oracle work pretty hard to ensure backwards compatability.

Of course, you'd spot any problems when you did an upgrade on a test database first.....

I didnt have 10G environment to execute Michels code.So,I requested you to run.I hope that you wont mind for that.I need to verify that.You said "Your existing code should work just fine " (though thats not mine.Its Michel's example I am talking about).

Does should indicates that its confirmed? Need your help!

I didn't really ask whether any existing code in 10G works in Oracle 9i.Rather I asked whether written code in Oracle 9i will work fine in 10G. Literally, a Big difference is there in the query.

Oli

For the interested people in the audience, it seems that SQL types and CAST are not needed for this at all in 9i. I found a 9i Db and tested this on it, and it all worked:
create or replace package pkg_type as
  type num_rec is record (col_1  number, col_2 number);
  type num_tab is table of number;
  type num_rec_Tab is table of num_rec;
end;
/

create or replace function num_pipeline (p_num in number) return pkg_type.num_rec_tab pipelined is
  r_num_rec   pkg_Type.num_rec;  
begin
  for i in 1..p_num loop
    r_num_rec.col_1 := i;
    r_num_rec.col_2 := i+1;
    pipe row(r_num_rec);
  end loop;
  return;
end;
/

select * from table(num_pipeline(5));
